Siebert, W. Outcomes of syphilis treatment and especially early treatment in the German navy. (Derm. W., No. 46, vol. 103, 1936)

The paper presents the data of observations on 1002 treated syphilitic sailors of the navy who fell ill with syphilis 2½ - 10 years ago. Since 1926, in the German navy, early treatment has been carried out with simultaneous injections of salvarsan and bismuth 2 times a week; this treatment was carried out for 2-3 courses at 5-week intervals, and in general it is better than treatment with separate injections of bismuth and salvarsan. In 405 people who received the described treatment, CSF had a negative serological reaction. In 235 people who received the maximum courses of treatment and completed it, the cerebrospinal fluid was serologically tested and turned out to be normal. In the presence of changes in the cerebrospinal fluid, the patients underwent malarial treatment, from which 60% of the cure was obtained.
