Neurology, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Marrakech, MAR Corresponding author: Faiza Aziouaz, [email protected] Abstract Neurosyphilis (NS) remains a public health problem. Several recent reports suggest a worldwide increase in the incidence of this condition. Various syndromes can occur in NS, such as syphilitic meningitis, meningovascular syphilis, parenchymatous and gummatous neurosyphilis. Syphilis meningovascular will be the focus of this study. We report 14 new observations of meningovascular syphilis. A review of demographic and clinical features, neuroimaging findings, cerebrospinal fluid changes, treatment and outcome, pathophysiology mechanism of meningovascular syphilis are presented. Categories: Neurology, HIV/AIDS, Infectious Disease Keywords: neurosyphilis, stroke, vasculitis, csf, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids) Introduction The incidence of stroke is approximately 2.3/1000/year, based on community surveys [1]. Stroke can be a complication of a central nervous system infection [2]. Some infections are more often associated with cerebrovascular complications than others, and the pathogenesis of vascular lesions varies widely from one disease to another [2, 3]. Most of these conditions cause stroke through a mechanism of angitis [4]. This review focuses on meningovascular syphilis as an infectious cause of stroke.

  • GAFFI Fact Sheet Cryptococcal Meningitis
    OLD VERSION GLOBAL ACTION FUNDGAL FOR INFECTIONS FUN GAFFI Fact Sheet Cryptococcal meningitis Cryptococcal meningitis is caused by one of two closely related GLOBAL ACTION FUNDNGAL FOR INFECTIONS environmental fungi, Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii. C. FU neoformans has a world-wide distribution, while C. gattii is concentrated in tropical and sub-tropical zones (although C. gattii infections haDARKER AREASve recently AND SMALLER VERSION TEXT FIT WITHIN CIRCLE (ALSO TO BE USED AS MAIN emerged on Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland in British Columbia, Canada). The LOGO IN THE FUTURE) frequency and circumstances of human exposure to these organisms are not precisely understood, but exposure is assumed to occur following inhalation for the environment from 3-4 years of age and to be nearly universal. Infection is usually controlled effectively by the immune system, but remains latent, so that, if immune function later wanes, due to HIV/AIDS, immunosuppressing medication, or another condition, disease develops, in particular a life-threatening meningitis or meningoencephalitis. C. neoformans causes most infections in HIV-infected patients; C. gattii, in particular, also causes disease in apparently immunocompetent persons. Person to person transmission does not occur. Incidence Cryptococcal meningitis remains a very common in patients with late stage HIV-infection. Despite expansion of antiretroviral programmes, cases have not decreased in most African countries. Furthermore, treatment is unsatisfactory: in Africa, mortality has ranged from 24% at 10 weeks to 95% at 12 weeks depending on the initial therapeutic regimen (see table, below). A recent CDC analysis estimated that in Africa, cryptococcosis-associated mortality at 3 months is ~70%1.

  • The Careers of Geoffrey Jefferson, Harry Platt and John Stopford, 1914–39
    ACADEMIC MEDICINE IN MANCHESTER 133 Academic medicine in Manchester: the careers of Geoffrey Jefferson, Harry Platt and John Stopford, 1914–39 STELLA V. F. BUTLER* In October 1939 John Stopford,Vice Chancellor of the University of Manchester, noted in his Annual Report that two new Chairs had been created in the Medical Faculty during the previous academic year.1 Harry Platt had become Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, and Geoffrey Jefferson Professor of Neurosurgery. Both Chairs were grouped within a new Department of Surgery under the directorship of John Morley. Neither Platt nor Jefferson received any pay related to these posts. However, financial reward was of little significance within these appointments. Rather, the Chairs conferred status upon both for their contributions to surgery as specialist surgeons and so underlined the increasing differentiation of medical practice. The development of surgical specialisms during the 1910s and 1920s had been resisted by many within the profession.2 Platt and Jefferson had been risking much, therefore, when they confined themselves to relatively narrow clinical fields as soon as they were able after qualifying in 1909. Yet both were eventually fêted by their peers: Platt as President of the Royal College of Surgeons; Jefferson as a Fellow of the Royal Society.Their careers were inter-twined from the moment they met as students in *This paper forms part of a broader study of the career of Sir Harry Platt, Bart. I am grateful to Elizabeth Gow for her magnificent catalogue of the Platt Papers, completed as part of the Manchester Archives Project funded by the Wellcome Fund for Research Resources in Medical History.
