Many human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis co-infected patients are not diagnosed, which may evolve into asymptomatic neurosyphilis (ANS). We studied the occurrence of ANS an HIV-infected population.
This was a cross-sectional study of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples collected from patients co-infected with HIV and Treponema pallidum. Social-demographic and clinical-laboratory characteristics were studied.
Of the 348 patients infected with HIV, 33 (9.5%) had reagent treponemic and non-treponemic tests. CSF was collected from 19 asymptomatic patients. Of these, 8 (42.1%) presented with laboratory alterations suggestive of ANS.
Social-demographic and clinical-laboratory variables should be considered for the indication of CSF collection.
许多人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)和梅毒合并感染患者未被诊断,这可能会发展为无症状神经梅毒(ANS)。我们研究了 HIV 感染人群中 ANS 的发生情况。
这是一项对 HIV 和梅毒螺旋体合并感染患者的脑脊液(CSF)样本进行的横断面研究。研究了社会人口统计学和临床实验室特征。
在 348 名感染 HIV 的患者中,有 33 名(9.5%)的试剂梅毒螺旋体和非梅毒螺旋体检测呈阳性。从 19 名无症状患者中采集了 CSF。其中,8 名(42.1%)患者出现了实验室改变,提示 ANS。
应考虑社会人口统计学和临床实验室变量来指示 CSF 采集。
