Case 39-2005: A 63-year-old woman with a positive serologic test for syphilis and persistent eosinophilia

Article Abstract:

A case study of a 63-year old woman with a positive serologic test for syphilis and persistent peripheral-blood eosinophilia is presented. The treatment for latent syphilis is benzathine penicillin due to its extremely low solubility, which results in more prolonged blood levels than those of other penicillin preparations.
