A more than tenfold increase in the annual incidence of infectious syphilis occurred in Finland during the 60s. Since then about 4 cases per 100 000 per year have been reported to the Central Medical Board. During the 70s, 39 new cases of neurosyphilis, verified by clinical and serological examinations, were recorded. At least 14 of these patients were primarily infected after 1955. The data suggest that new cases of neurosyphilis may turn up in the near future and indicate that intensified epidemiological control is still needed.
20世纪60年代，芬兰传染性梅毒的年发病率增长了十多倍。从那时起，每年每10万人中约有4例上报至中央医疗委员会。在20世纪70年代，记录了39例经临床和血清学检查确诊的神经梅毒新病例。其中至少14名患者在1955年后首次感染。数据表明，神经梅毒新病例可能在不久的将来出现，这表明仍需要加强流行病学控制。
