Article Abstract
The HIV-infected patients(both AIDS and HIV-seropositive groups)were younger and more frequently had features of secondary syphillis,such as rash,fever,adenopathies,headache,or meningismus.Significant differences were observed in cerebrospinal fluid measurements when the HIV-infected group was compared with the HIV-uninfected group,including a higher mean white blood cell count in patients with AIDS and a higher mean protein level and a lower mean glucose level in the HIV-infected group.Syphilitic meningitis was more common in HIV-seropositive patients,althoughthe HIV- uninfected patients presented with a greater variety of thpes of neurosyphilis.Opthalmic syphilis was observed more frequently in the HIV- infected group.Significant differences exist between neurosyphilis occurring in the presence and absence of HIV infection.
