Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is characterized by optic neuritis, longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM), or area postrema syndrome. Chronic infection such as human immunodeficiency virus or syphilis is one of the red flags of NMOSD. We report a case presenting with LETM and area postrema lesion following treatment of latent syphilis. Syphilis might be one of the causes of post-infectious NMOSD as well as one of causes of chronic CNS infection.
