[Neurosyphilis with multiple gummas and AIDS. Report of a case].
The incidence of neurosyphilis has been increasing since AIDS has appeared but acute gummatous necrotizing progression is so far exceptional. We report a second case of "quaternary neurosyphilis" in a 29-year-old patient without serologic nor CT scan evidence of treponema. Diagnosing neurosyphilis is particularly difficult in HIV-1 infected patients, specially in spirochetes-poor injuries.
