Abstract: Central nervous system invasion by Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis, occurs in many, if not most, patients with syphilis. Laboratory findings from untreated asymptomatic syphilis patients with abnormalities of cerebrospinal fluid are termed asymptomatic neurosyphilis and represent a group that has an increased risk for developing clinical neurosyphilis syndromes. Clinical neurosyphilis syndromes, which occur in a minority of patients, may become apparent at any time in the natural history of untreated disease and often causeserious morbidity for individuals who develop them. Because there is no single sensitive and highly specific test for neurosyphilis diagnosis, clinicians must approach this important syndrome using a combination of clinical and laboratory data and a firm understanding of the disease.

An evaluation of contact tracing in tuberculosis neurosyphilisGerman recommendations for selective screening.
http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ew/2002/020314.asp

Extractions: An evaluation of contact tracing in tuberculosis Neurosyphilis: German recommendations for selective screening An evaluation of contact tracing in tuberculosis Contact tracing is an important part of tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control in low incidence countries (1,2). It aims primarily to identify individuals with latent or active TB who have been in contact with patients with infectious TB so that appropriate preventive or curative treatment can be given. The importance of contact tracing has been reinforced in recent studies using molecular typing methods which have shown that up to a third of patients in some industrialised countries have evidence of recent transmission of TB rather than reactivation of old tuberculous infection (3-5). A recent paper (6) presents an evaluation of contact tracing as practised in the United States. The study, which was carried out in 1996 at five study sites, assessed 349 patients (aged 15 years and over) with pulmonary TB and their 3824 contacts. An average of 1.9 infected contacts were found for each case of TB (2.6 per smear positive patient and 1.2 per smear negative patient), and positive tuberculin skin tests or active disease in 18% of contacts. In an earlier American study (7), up to 36% of contacts were found to have evidence of infection or disease. The paper recommends that a standard approach to TB contact investigation has the potential to improve outcomes and that better follow up of contacts is an important public health priority to improve TB prevention and control.

http://www.aidsmeds.com/OIs/Syphilis1.htm

Extractions: What is it? Syphilis is a disease caused by the organism Treponema pallidum . It is a sexually transmitted disease (STD), meaning that it is spread through sexual activity with someone infected with the bacterium. The infection usually causes disease over a course of several years. If it is not treated early or correctly, it can lead to serious problems, such as heart problems, mental disorders and neurologic problems (neurosyphilis), blindness, dementia, and death. Syphilis is passed from person to person through direct contact with a syphilis sore or lesion. Sores develop early in the course of syphilis, occurring mainly on the external genitals, vagina, anus, or in the rectum. Sores also can occur on the lips and in the mouth. It's important to note that these sores are not painful, so a person might not notice them. Transmission of the organism occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Pregnant women with the disease can pass it to the babies they are carrying. Rash-like lesions can appear on any part of the body after the sores heal, and are also infectious. Syphilis cannot be spread by toilet seats, door knobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bath tubs, shared clothing, or eating utensils.

Extractions: Hintergrund: Die in den letzten Monaten deutlich steigende Inzidenz von Syphilis ist nicht allein auf eine verbesserte Erfassung nach Umstellung des Meldesystems zurückzuführen (Meldepflicht des diagnostizierenden Labors, Infektionsschutzgesetz 2001). Vor allem bei Risikogruppen in großstädtischen Regionen zeigt sich ein signifikanter Anstieg der Fallzahlen. Eine frühe Diagnose und Therapie haben vor allem wegen des erhöhten HIV-Infektionsrisikos besondere Relevanz.

Extractions: Diagnostic Criteria The clinical manifestations of syphilis can be broadly classified [ ref Secondary syphilis Symptoms are due to the active multiplication and dissemination of spirochetes. Onset of symptoms usually begins 2-8 weeks after the appearance of primary chancre. Primary chancre still may be present in about one-third of patients. Systemic manifestations include low-grade fever, malaise, pharyngitis, laryngitis, anorexia, weight loss, arthralgias, and generalized painless lymphadenopathy. Enlargement of epitrochlear lymph nodes should suggest diagnosis of the disease. Skin manifestations are the hallmark of this stage of the disease.
