Introduction: Syphilis remains a significant challenge in public health, largely because of its diverse clinical manifestations, often resulting in underdiagnosis especially among patients with neurogenic disability.
Case Description: We present a case of neurosyphilis in a 63-year-old patient with a spinal cord injury. Despite syphilis being a well-established sexually transmitted infection, the exacerbation of neurological and dermatological symptoms during physical examination prompted an investigation into alternative causes beyond the patient's pre-existing paraparesis, ultimately resulting in the diagnosis of neurosyphilis.

Sexually transmitted infections and migration in Uganda: a population-based study.
Sex Transm Infect
August 2024
Rakai Health Sciences Program, Kalisizo, Central Region, Uganda.
Objectives: Migration is associated with increased risk of HIV infection in Africa, but evidence about non-HIV sexually transmitted infection (STI) burden among African migrants is limited.
Methods: We used data from the Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevalence Study, a cross-sectional population-based study of chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, syphilis and herpes simplex virus type 2 prevalence in southern Uganda, to compare STI prevalence between adults aged 18 and 49 years with and without a recent history of migration. Migration status was determined using household census data, with a recent migration history defined as having moved into one's community of current residence within the last ~18 months.
