Neurologic Relapse after Benzathine Penicillin Therapy for Secondary Syphilis in a Patient with HIV Infection
Abstract
TREPONEMA pallidum, the etiologic agent of syphilis, may be detected in the cerebrospinal fluid during early infection. The recommended therapeutic agent for primary, secondary, and latent syphilis, benzathine penicillin, does not reach treponemicidal levels within the cerebrospinal fluid, and concerns have been raised that current treatment regimens may be inadequate, particularly in patients who harbor spirochetes in their central nervous systems.We report the failure of benzathine penicillin in the treatment of secondary syphilis in a homosexual man who was seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). After therapy, his serum Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test titers decreased appropriately . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
