Neurosyphilis remains an important and highly morbid neurologic infection. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the incidence of syphilis across a variety of populations, making recognition of the many neurologic complications of this infection still relevant for modern clinicians. As manifestations of neurosyphilis are famously varied, a high index of suspicion is essential, especially in the face of atypical presentations. In this review, we discuss updates to the epidemiology, range of clinical presentations, diagnosis, and management of neurosyphilis. ANN NEUROL 2025.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Neurology publishes original articles with potential for high impact in understanding the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and science underlying diseases of the human nervous system. Articles should ideally be of broad interest to the academic neurological community rather than solely to subspecialists in a particular field. Studies involving experimental model system, including those in cell and organ cultures and animals, of direct translational relevance to the understanding of neurological disease are also encouraged.
