Disease relevance of Syphilis, Latent

  • Although ceftriaxone achieves high serum and CSF levels, 10 to 14 days of treatment with this drug were associated with a 23% failure rate in HIV-infected patients who had latent syphilis or asymptomatic neurosyphilis [1].
  • Three doses of benzathine penicillin did not have a significantly higher relapse rate and may provide appropriate therapy, at least for documented latent syphilis in persons co-infected with HIV [1].
  • Thirteen patients received benzathine penicillin for presumed latent syphilis; results were similar to those observed after ceftriaxone therapy, with 8 (62%) responders, 1 (8%) serofast, 2 (15%) relapses, and 2 (15%) failures [1].
  • The goal of this study was to estimate the prevalence of newly diagnosed latent syphilis, as well as previously treated syphilis, in emergency department patients giving a history of cocaine use [2].
