The article presents results of serological and general clinic research of spinal liquid of 85 patients, 25 of which had early asymptomatic neurosyphilis, and 34 had late meningovascular neurosyphilis. In 26 patients the diagnosis of neurosyphilis was doubtful by laboratory and clinical data. When using the new diagnostic technology — «Litos-system» – objective criteria were obtained for diagnosing the early and late forms of the disease, as well as for estimation of therapy efficiency.

Key words: neurosyphilis, spinal liquid, «Litos-system» diagnostic technology
