Although cerebral syphilitic gummas are generally considered to be rare manifestations of tertiary syphilis, many reports exist of early cerebral syphilitic gumma. Our finding of cerebral syphilitic gumma in an HIV-negative man within 5 months after syphilis infection suggests that this condition should be considered in syphilis patients who have neurologic symptoms.
虽然脑梅毒树胶肿通常被认为是三期梅毒的罕见表现，但有许多关于早期脑梅毒树胶肿的报告。我们发现一名 HIV 阴性的男性在梅毒感染后 5 个月内出现脑梅毒树胶肿，这表明对于有神经系统症状的梅毒患者应考虑这种情况。
