Abstract
Introduction

In the last years, the incidence of syphilis has incremented in Spain and coinfection with HIV occurs in a high percentage. In HIV-infected patients with syphilis, neurological complications, treatment failure and relapse appear to be slightly raised. Therefore, careful follow-up must be carried out because of the risk of developing neurosyphilis. According to the guidelines, lumbar puncture (LP) is indicated in HIV-infected patients with late latent syphilis or syphilis of unknown duration, but it is discussed in HIV-infected patients with early active syphilis. Recent research has been developed in order to determine clinical and analytical findings for identification of patients with high neurosyphilis risk. We review different opinions about this topic and report our experience.

Methods

We have performed LP in all HIV-infected patients with early active syphilis during 2003-2006.

Results

Of the eight studied patients, none met criteria for neurosyphilis. Three of eight (38%) had a peripheral blood CD4 cell count CD4 + ≤ 350 cells/μL. Seven of eight (87’5%) had RPR ≥ 1:32.

Conclusion

In these patients, performance of LP could be over indicated because of lack of well-established criterion. Our results are in agreement over to recent studies which restrict indication of LP to specific groups.

Resumen
Introducción

En los últimos años se ha incrementado la incidencia de sífilis en España. En un porcentaje importante existe coinfección con el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). Dado que estos pacientes tienen mayor riesgo de complicaciones neurológicas y de fracaso del tratamiento, hay que seguirlos cuidadosamente por el riesgo de desarrollar neurosífilis. En los pacientes coinfectados por el VIH –si bien las guías coinciden en realizar punción lumbar en aquellos con sífilis latente tardía o de duración incierta– la indicación en pacientes con sífilis precoz activa es controvertida. Recientemente se han realizado estudios para determinar parámetros clínicos o analíticos que identifiquen a aquellos pacientes que se beneficiarían de la punción lumbar. Exponemos las diversas opiniones y aportamos la experiencia en nuestro servicio.

Material y método

Hemos realizado punción lumbar de forma sistemática a todos los pacientes con sífilis precoz activa coinfectados por el VIH en el periodo 2003-2006.

Resultados

En el 100% no se objetivó neurosífilis en LCR, y los parámetros entraban dentro de la normalidad o eran compatibles con la infección por el VIH. Un 38% presentó un recuento de linfocitos CD4 + ≤ 350 y un 87,5% tenía una titulación en suero RPR ≥ 1:32.

Conclusión

Es posible que en la práctica clínica se abuse de la realización de PL en estos pacientes, debido a la ausencia de criterios bien definidos. Nuestros datos están en correlación con los criterios actuales que apoyan la idea de restringir la realización de PL a determinados grupos.
