Neurosyphilis : $b Modern systematic diagnosis and treatment presented in one hundred and thirty-seven case histories
Southard, Elmer Ernest
Neurosyphilis
100. A theoretically curable case. Autopsy 328
101. A highly meningitic case, theoretically amenable to
treatment. Autopsy 332
102. A highly atrophic case, theoretically not amenable to
treatment. Autopsy 335
103. Paretic neurosyphilis with markedly focal lesions. Autopsy 338
(CASES 104 TO 123 ARE EXAMPLES OF TREATMENT INCLUDING
SUCCESSES AND FAILURES.)
104. Diffuse neurosyphilis: treatment successful after nine months 342
105. Atypical neurosyphilis: treatment successful 346
106. Argyll-Robertson pupil not necessarily of bad prognosis:
treated case an insurance risk 350
107. Spinal fluid cleared: symptoms persistent 355
108. Arteriosclerosis does not contraindicate treatment 359
109. Symptoms of intracranial pressure relieved by treatment 362
110. Therapeutic improvement in tabetic neurosyphilis 366
111. W. R. rendered negative in tabetic neurosyphilis 367
112. Example of successful treatment of paretic neurosyphilis 370
113. Another example 372
114. Clinical recovery but tests persistently positive in treated
paretic neurosyphilis 375
115. Improvement delayed in treated paretic neurosyphilis 377
116. Non-neural syphilis in treated paretic neurosyphilis 380
117. Partial recovery in treated paretic neurosyphilis 382
118. Laboratory signs improved: clinical situation stationary:
treated paretic neurosyphilis 384
119. Another example 386
120. Failure of treatment 388
121. Treatment, at first mild, later intensive 390
122. Intensive treatment 392
123. Syphilitic feeblemindedness improved by treatment 395
SECTION VI. NEUROSYPHILIS AND THE WAR.
CASES A TO N FROM BRITISH, FRENCH, AND GERMAN WRITERS
(1914–1916) 399
CASE
A. Tabes “shell-shocked” into paresis? (Donath) 401
B. Latent syphilis “shell-shocked” into tabes? (Duco and Blum) 403
C. Aggravation of neurosyphilis by service? (Weygandt) 404
D. Aggravation of neurosyphilis _by_ service? (Todd) 406
E. Aggravation of neurosyphilis _on_ service? (Todd) 409
F. Duration of neurosyphilitic process important. (Farrar) 411

shell-shock. (Marie) 412
