| Abstract | Background Neurosyphilis (NS) is the most serious complication elicited by the invasion of Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum) into the central nervous system. Identifying the neuro-invasion of T. pallidum as early as possible is important. Looking for indicators with good performance and convenient to operate is in great demand for the diagnosis of NS. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 428 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative syphilis patients who underwent therapy in Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital from April 2022 to June 2023. The syphilis patients were further grouped into non-neurosyphilis (NNS), asymptomatic neurosyphilis (ANS) and symptomatic syphilis (SNS). Laboratory examination results of these patients were analyzed. Results Significantly elevated neutrophil CD64 (nCD64) index and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were observed in ANS and SNS patients compared with those of NNS patients. nCD64 index and NLR were strongly correlated with serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) TRUST titer, CSF WBC and CSF protein levels in NS patients. nCD64 index and NLR were independent factors influencing NS, especially ANS. Logistic regression models based on nCD64 index, NLR and serum TRUST titer exhibited better diagnostic performances to the currently used markers in NS diagnosis. Particularly, for NS patients with negative CSF TRUST, diagnostic performance of the combined nCD64 and NLR was obviously superior to CSF protein and CSF WBC. Conclusions Neutrophil-related indicators-nCD64 index and NLR have potential application value in the diagnosis of NS, especially for the CSF TRUST negative patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
