[The dynamic serological reactions after treating patients with early forms of syphilis by the single-course shortened reserve method].

A total of 156 patients with early syphilis were treated with tetracyclin and oletetrin. The drugs were administered 4 times daily (every 6 hrs) in a dose of 0.5 g (daily dose 2.0 g). Patients with primary seropositive syphilis were treated for 20 days, the dose per course being 40 g, those with secondary fresh syphilis for 25 days, dose per course 50 g, those with secondary recurring syphilis for 40 days, dose per course 80 g. The treatment was well tolerated by all the patients. Early negative results of specific serologic tests after treatment confirm the efficacy of the suggested method.
