Neurosyphilis occurring among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients has rarely been reported in Korea, although the coexistence of primary or secondary syphilis and HIV has been previously reported. We report a case of a 36-yr-old man who presented with rapidly progressive dementia due to neurosyphilis and HIV coinfection. Syphilis and HIV coinfection should be considered as a differential diagnosis of dementia in young patients since prompt therapeutic intervention could result in good clinical outcome. |
Key Words: Neurosyphilis, HIV, Dementia |
