The presence of spirochetemia was associated with lower CD4 counts (per 10-cell/mm3 decrease, adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.020; 95% CI, 1.006-1.036) and secondary syphilis (AOR, 4.967; 95% CI, 2.016-12.238). Patients with early latent syphilis were less likely to achieve serological response compared with those with primary or secondary syphilis (AOR, 0.317; 95% CI, 0.142-0.708). However, serological response was not affected by presence of spirochetemia or antibiotic regimens. ? 2013 The Authors Clinical Microbiology and Infection ? 2013 European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. |
