Inhaltsangabe

Delve into the nervous system effects of syphilis with a comprehensive, clinician-ready overview. This volume surveys the pathology, diagnosis, and evolving treatments that have shaped our current understanding of syphilis in the central nervous system. It presents advances in biology and biochemistry, while tracing how historical therapies have been refined over time.

The book explains how early infections can progress to serious nervous-system disease and how new diagnostic tools, such as the Wassermann reaction, help identify involvement of the brain and spinal cord. It also covers the shift from older remedies to modern approaches, including the use of salvarsan and mercury, and how combination therapies may improve outcomes in specific conditions.

• Clear explanations of key nervous-system syndromes linked to syphilis, including tabes dorsalis and general paralysis.


• Discussion of diagnostic methods and how they changed practice in neurosyphilis.


• Overview of historical and contemporary treatments and their practical implications.


• Clinical context for recognizing symptoms, progression, and potential responses to therapy.

Ideal for students, clinicians, and researchers seeking a thorough classic reference on syphilis of the nervous system.
