Question

question 37 (mandatory) (2 points) which of the following is most likely found in a patient with neurosyphilis? compression of vessels and nerves as they course through the meninges changes readily reversed with penicillin therapy an infiltrate of neutrophils in the meninges sepsis and shock

Explanation:

Neurosyphilis is a late - stage complication of syphilis. Penicillin therapy can reverse many of the changes associated with neurosyphilis. Compression of vessels and nerves in meninges is not a typical feature. Neutrophil infiltrate in meninges is more characteristic of acute bacterial meningitis rather than neurosyphilis. Sepsis and shock are not characteristic findings of neurosyphilis.

Answer:

changes readily reversed with penicillin therapy
