Article Abstract
Central nervous system invasion by T.pallidum is common in early syphilis, and is apparently independent of HIV infection.Examination of the CSF may be beneficial in patients with early syphilis,and therapy should be guided by knowledge of central nervous system involvement.Conventional benzathine penicillin G therapy may have reduced efficacy in patients with early syphilis who are also infected with HIV.
