Abstract
ObjectiveNeurosyphilis can present with a wide range of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Hence, psychiatrists need to be familiar with tests for syphilis screening and how to interpret syphilis serologic tests. MethodsWe present four cases of patients with positive syphilis tests encountered in a psychiatric hospital. ResultsTwo cases were treated for neurosyphilis, while the other two cases did not have active syphilis infection despite positive results. ConclusionWe thus highlight the challenges encountered by psychiatrists in screening for and diagnosing cases of neurosyphilis.
