Description
Wenjing Zhang and co-authors chart fifty one patients with neurosyphilis whose spinal cord lining lights up on scans, in a study from 2024. That scan sign may help catch the disease early, when care can still change the course.
Lower back and tail zones lit up most often, with neck and chest zones close behind. The top clinical form was a slow cord decay type. Half of those checked again saw the lit zone shrink or vanish after care. Fluid tests also eased in most. The authors urge scan checks for patients with cord signs.
