Clinical outcomes of syphilis in HIV-negative and HIV-positive MSM: occurrence of repeat syphilis episodes and non-treponemal serology responses

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2021
Objectives HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) may be at a higher risk of repeat syphilis, have different clinical manifestations and have a different serological response to treatment compared with HIV-negative MSM.

Timing of primary syphilis treatment and impact on the development of treponemal antibodies: a cross-sectional clinic-based study

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2021
Background Serology is negative in a proportion of primary syphilis cases where Treponema pallidum PCR testing is positive. We aimed to identify discordant, T. pallidum PCR-positive, serology-negative primary syphilis cases and any clinical or laboratory

Treponemes and endodontic infections

Endodontic Topics, 2003
The pathogenic potential of spirochetes and their significance in the development of oral diseases, as well as in infections in other organs, have gained new interest for several reasons. First, these bacteria have the potential to be pathogenic because of their number and frequency at infected sites, their production of tissue irritants, their ability

Treponemal infection in a Pleistocene bear

Nature, 1987
The age and origins of the organisms that cause syphilis (treponemes) have long been matters for controversy. The widely-held belief that Columbus's ship brought the disease from the New World to Europe rests on identification of the classic lesions in Inca, Aztec and Mississippian bones that date from 1,000 to 3,000 years before present.

Secondary yaws: an endemic treponemal infection.

Pediatric dermatology, 2010
Although yaws is rare in developed countries, as worldwide travel has become commonplace, it is essential to recognize this condition when evaluating patients who traveled from endemic regions. Herein, we discuss a case of secondary yaws presenting as extensive expanding annular lesions to raise awareness of this condition.

Identification of Spirochetes (Treponemes) in Endodontic Infections

Journal of Endodontics, 2003
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of spirochetes in asymptomatic infected root canals and in endodontic abscesses/cellulitis. Aseptic clinical samples were collected using paper points from 54 infected root canals and from aspirates of 84 abscesses/cellulitis.

Cerebrospinal fluid treponemal antibody titres: a breakthrough in the diagnosis of neurosyphilis

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2020
Neurosyphilis, like other infections of the central nervous system, results in intrathecal antibody production.1 2 Both treponemal and non-treponemal (lipoidal) antibodies are produced and will continue to be produced even after successful treatment of ...

TREPONEMAL INFECTION COEXISTING WITH SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS

Rheumatology, 1992
A patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)/erosive arthritis overlap is described who was also shown to have late latent treponemal infection. The possibility of serological reactivation is discussed. Since antiphospholipid antibodies are the basis of the reagin tests for syphilis as well as being present in patients with SLE, difficulties with ...

Utility of Treponemal Testing from Aqueous Fluid in the Diagnosis of Ocular Syphilis in Patients with HIV/AIDS

Ocular immunology and inflammation, 2020
Purpose Ocular syphilis is re-emerging globally especially in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Atypical manifestations of ocular syphilis and/or other associated opportunistic infections often lead to a diagnostic dilemma.
