ТРЕТИЧНЫЙ ПОЛИВИСЦЕРАЛЬНЫЙ СИФИЛИС: КЛИНИКО-АНАТОМИЧЕСКОЕ НАБЛЮДЕНИЕ ЛЕТАЛЬНОГО ИСХОДА

Abstract

Fatal outcomes in visceral syphilis are now rare. The article presents data on the epidemiology, nosological forms of visceral syphilis and the description of the lethal outcome. In observations, late syphilis was characterized by multiple organ lesions (heart, brain, skin), but the leading clinical manifestations referred to neurosyphilis and cardiovascular syphilis. The diagnosis of visceral syphilis was established intra-vitam and at autopsy on the basis of a characteristic morphological picture (detection of gummas) and positive test results for antibodies to Treponema pallidum.
