Currently, neurosyphilis is an uncommon disease and may occur at any stage of syphilis. Co-infection of syphilis with HIV can affect the clinical course. We report a case of meningovascular neurosyphilis in a patient with HIV in whom basilar artery thrombosis and reactive VDRL in CSF were detected. Treatment with penicillin was instituted with adequate response showing clinical improvement. Neurosyphilis is a differential diagnosis in young patients with cerebral infarction, especially in HIV patients.
目前,神经梅毒是一种罕见的疾病,可发生在梅毒的任何阶段。梅毒合并 HIV 感染可影响临床病程。我们报告了一例 HIV 感染患者的脑膜血管性神经梅毒,该患者检测到基底动脉血栓形成和脑脊液 VDRL 反应性。给予青霉素治疗后,患者有充分的反应,表现出临床改善。神经梅毒是年轻脑梗死患者,尤其是 HIV 患者的鉴别诊断之一。
