Obstetric patients with serologic evidence of syphilis should have cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis to determine the presence of tertiary disease. In the present study, 19% of untreated and asymptomatic patients with serologic evidence of syphilis were found to have tertiary syphilis following examination of CSF. Despite maternal therapy, 11% of the infants born to mothers with syphilis had reactive serum and CSF involvement as documented by the presence of a fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS)-specific IgM.
有梅毒血清学证据的产科患者应进行脑脊液（CSF）分析，以确定是否存在三期梅毒。在本研究中，经脑脊液检查发现，19%血清学证据显示梅毒但未经治疗且无症状的患者患有三期梅毒。尽管母亲接受了治疗，但梅毒母亲所生婴儿中仍有11%的血清反应呈阳性，且通过荧光密螺旋体抗体吸收试验（FTA-ABS）特异性IgM的存在证明脑脊液也受到了累及。
