- Abstract
Neurosyphilis develops in about 5% of untreated patients infected with Treponema pallidum. The spirochete disseminates systemically hours to days after inoculation. Early invasion of the central nervous system can be seen in infected patients without symptoms. Here we present three patients with varying complaints, diagnosed with neurosyphilis during diagnostic work-up. The patients had diplopia, headache and blurred vision, numbness and thinning in the feet.
