摘要: Objective: To identify alternatives to the CSF-Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test for diagnosis of neurosyphilis in HIV-infected individuals. Methods: CSF fluorescent treponemal antibody (FTA) reactivity and % lymphocytes that were B cells fresh frozen samples determined 47 cases with syphilis 26 controls. As serum, ≥2+ was considered positive. Based on results controls normal measures, cut-offs elevated proposed be ≥9% ≥20% samples. Neurosyphilis defined as a reactive CSF-VDRL. Results: CSF-FTA-ABS (absorbed) CSF-FTA (unabsorbed undiluted) 100% sensitive neurosyphilis. Elevated cryopreserved specific (100%) but not (40 43%) post hoc analyses. The assessment together allowed 16% pleocytosis nonreactive CSF-VDRL diagnosed 26% having Conclusion: When is nonreactive, may help exclude or establish
