SHOOTER From Sr. Bartholomew's Hospiial, London Since January, 1949, all patients with late syphilis attending the Special Treatment Centre of St. Bartholomew's Hospital have had quantitative Wassermann reactions performed on their sera before and after treatment. 83 patients have been investigated by monthly tests for a minimum of 6

Are serological tests of value in diagnosing and monitoring response to treatment of syphilis in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus?
To assess the value of serological tests in diagnosing and monitoring the response to treatment of syphilis in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), case notes of eight homosexual men with a history of treated syphilis, positive reactions to serological tests for syphilis, and documented subsequent conversion to HIV seropositivity were studied.

متن کاملPseudo-chancre Redux with Negative Serology. a Case Report.

The results of treatment we...
متن کاملImmunological and immunochemical investigations of patients suffering from general paralysis.
With the introduction of penicillin treatment for early syphilis, the prognosis for this infection has significantly changed, and it is to be expected that late syphilitic manifestations will become increasingly rare. Even if the period of latency so far allowed for the development of late manifestations is at present too short for a final assessment of penicillin treatment, the action of penic...
متن کاملPersistence of T. pallidum and its significance in penicillin-treated seropositive late syphilis.
The observation of T. pallidum-like organisms reported by Collart, Borel, and Durel (1962, a, b, c, 1964) in the lymph nodes of both men and rabbits in seroreactive treated syphilis and the stimulating work of Smith and Israel (1967 a, b, 1968) on intraocular treponemes in late syphilis have created much interest in the survival and virulence of T. pallidum in tissues and body fluids in cases o...
