Résumé
We studied the detection of Treponema pallidum (TP)-IgM antibodies in the serum of 69 patients treated for syphilis. The persistence of TP-IgM antibodies in serum for more than 3 years was the only clue to suspect an active infection and, therefore, to investigate a central nervous system involvement.
