Methods: We retrospectively screened the data of HIV-negative NS patients who were presented in Shengli Oilfield Hospital, and analyzed these information based on Guidelines for Infection of Neurosyphilis, Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria tonorrhoeae. Results: There were 17 patients diagnosed as NS, of which 13 were confirmed with complete clinical data, aged from 26 to 88 years old, and 9 patients were male. There were 8 cases of cerebral syphilis (61.54%), 3 cases of meningovascular syphilis (23.08%), 1 case of meningeal neurosyphilis (7.69%) and 1 case of asymptomatic neurosyphilis. Cognitive impairment and psychiatric symptoms were prominent symptoms. We observed increased proteins and white blood cell levels in these patients’ cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay (TPPA) and toluidine red unheated serum test (TRUST) of serum and CSF in all patients showed positive. Symptoms improved after treatment with penicillin or ceftriaxone. Conclusion: The clinical presentation and radiological appearance in NS patients were lack of specificity. Practitioners should take further differential diagnosis for cases with unexplained cognitive impairment and psychiatric symptoms to reduce misdiagnosis.展开更多
