“…In one study (2j), penicillin levels in the cerebrospinal fluid were determined on 198 specimens taken from 114 patients at various time intervals during and after a regimen of six daily injections of procaine microcrystal penicillin in oil with 2 (8), we adopted the schedule of 600,000 units for six daily consecutive doses for the treatment of central nervous system syphilis. Favorable response has been reported by Dattner, Curtis, Stokes, and their co-workers (26)(27)(28) and by other authors in nearly all complications of the nervous system when penicillin without adjuvant therapy is used. Research groups in the United States are almost unanimously agreed that arsenic and bismuth are without value as adjuvants to penicillin in the treatment of neurosyphilis.…”

“…por Dattner e col. 6 ; dos 23 casos em que pudemos fazer o exame do líquox seis meses após o tratamento, apenas em 1 (0,48%) tal resultado foi verificado, c) Resultados indefinidos, quando os quadros liquóricos apresentavam caráter fronteiriço entre a normalidade e atividade patológica; neste grupo se podem enquadrar 11 de nossos 50 casos. No caso 24 de nossa série (pertencente ao grupo 1) houve indiscutível recidiva do processo neuroluético.…”

“…Os resultados do tratamento foram avaliados exclusivamente do ponto de vista liquórico. Éste é o criterio recomendado por Dattner e col. 6 , por várias razões: a) a avaliação das modificações clínicas exige longo tempo de observação, devido à existencia de remissões espontáneas, especialmente na paralisia geral; além disso, há sintomas reversíveis e outros irreversíveis, de modo que a melhora de algumas manifestações clínicas pode ser transitória, o que falseará a avaliação da marcha do processo luético; b) alguns sintomas podem persistir e mesmo se agravar, apesar do estacionamento da lesão nervosa; c) devem ainda ser levados em conta os casos assintomáticos do ponto de vista clínico. Por estes motivos, já em 1924 Dattner 7 salientava a importância dos elementos objetivos fornecidos pelo exame do líquor, especialmente a citometria, para a avaliação do estado da lesão neuroluética.…”

“…In general, more than one course of penicillin (6,000,000 units or more) is of no demonstrable additional value in the treat¬ ment of paresis. 3. Lack of clinical improvement, persist¬ ence of an elevated spinal fluid protein level, or persistence of positive spinal fluid Wasserman reaction are not indications for rctreatment.…”
