Abstract
The clinical spectrum of neurosyphilis is large. Serologic tests for syphilis are commonly indicated in diseases involving the central nervous system. The diagnosis of syphilis relies on epidemiological, clinical and biological grounds (cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities and RPR test). The treatment of neurosyphilis is still penicillin G.
