摘要：

Dementia is one of the manifestations of late syphilis and it is characterized by cognitive deterioration and behaviour disturbances. We report on a male patient with cognitive decline, behaviour disorder, hyperactivity, hallucinations, short-term memory and Argyll Robertson pupils due to neurosyphilis. Minimental state test (MST) was 16. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein concentration was 82 mg/dl, CSF-leucocyte: count 128 cells/min3 (98% mononuclear cells), CSF-VDRL 1:4, and CSF-T.pallidum haemaglutination assay 1:2560. MRI showed no cerebral alteration, but SPECT revealed left fronto-temporal hypocaptation. He received intravenous penicillin. MST done 3 months after the treatment scored 22. A new spinal tap showed normal CSF Neurosyphilis should be part of the differential diagnosis of every patient showing. cognitive deterioration and behaviour disturbances. During followup, MMS is an useful instrument to measure cognitive decline and response to treatment.
