Disease relevance of Syphilis

 

Psychiatry related information on Syphilis

  • Alternatively, we reasoned that if anti-Fn autoantibodies played a role in the pathogenesis of syphilis, then down-regulation of such a response by the Id network might directly affect progression of the disease [6].

Gene context of Syphilis

  • In contrast to a lesion from a patient with recurrent herpes simplex virus type 2, no message for IL-4 could be detected in any of the syphilis lesions, and 10 of 13 had no mRNA for IL-5 or IL-13 [25].
  • VEGF intensity appeared increased in the patients with secondary syphilis [26].
  • In this stage of syphilis again slightly increased the ability of cells to secrete IL-10, which reached the highest value in early latent syphilis [27].
  • The whole process may play an important role in the immunopathogenesis of syphilis and it is likely that TNF-alpha and IL-1alpha are involved [28].
  • In syphilis, reactivity with macrophage markers such as lysozyme and MAC387 were weaker, and reactivity to HLA-DR and S-100 was much stronger [29].
