Once on a business trip, I was really lonely. I used wechat to shake a woman, and then I indulged with that woman. Later, the woman told me on wechat that she was found to have syphilis and neurosyphilis recently? Do you know? Today, let me talk about neurosyphilis.

Manifestations of neurosyphilis

First: first stage syphilis symptom: after infection 2-4 weeks appears the hard chancre, mostly occurs in the genital part, the male in the coronal groove, the penis, the foreskin and so on. Women in the size of the labia or cervix. At the beginning, it is a papule, which quickly breaks into a small red ulcer, with a small amount of serous secretions, containing a large number of Treponema pallidum. The hard chancre is often single, with cartilaginous hardness and no pain.

Second: secondary syphilis symptoms: secondary syphilis generally occurs in 7 ~ 10 weeks after infection or 6 ~ 8 weeks after chancre, a few cases. Secondary lesions may overlap with chancre. Treponema pallidum spreads throughout the body through blood, mainly with skin and mucous membrane damage, as well as bone, sensory organs and nerve damage. Infectious, rash before often low fever, headache, muscle, joint and bone soreness and other precursor symptoms.

Third: the third stage of syphilis symptoms: due to Treponema pallidum from lymph nodes into the blood, spread in the body after systemic symptoms, in 7-10 weeks after infection, there can be low fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, systemic lymphadenopathy. Skin rash appeared all over the body, such as macula, papule, pustule, oyster shell rash, copper red, a small amount of scales attached. It is often symmetrically distributed, dense and not fused.

matters needing attention

After infection with syphilis, after a certain period of activity, due to the influence of immune enhancement or irregular treatment, symptoms temporarily subsided, but not completely cured, syphilis serum reaction is still positive, cerebrospinal fluid examination is normal, this stage is called latent syphilis. Infection within two years, said early latent syphilis, because there are still about 20% latent syphilis patients can occur secondary recurrence of syphilis, it should be considered still infectious. Patients who have been infected for more than two years are called late latent syphilis, which is less infectious. However, 15% - 20% of them may have cardiovascular or neurosyphilis, and about 15% of them may have three-stage skin, mucous membrane or bone syphilis. Pregnant women with latent syphilis may still have congenital syphilis.
