It is further emphasized that the treatment for neurosyphilis is the same and should be carried out just as intensively whether the infection is acquired or hereditary. As a matter of fact, the differences between hereditary and acquired syphilis are accounted for by the fact that in one case it occurs in a rapidly developing organism and in the other case in a mature organism.There have appeared in the last few years a number of studies of the incidence of cerebrospinal involvement in acquired syphilis based on the examination of the cerebrospinal fluid. Most of these studies have been made on
