1.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)FDA Link 03/01/2018 - "The proportion of patients with CSF elevated protein was lower in ANS group than that in syphilitic meningitis (P = .003), cerebrovascular NS (P = .001), and parenchymal NS groups (P = .025), and was higher in sero-TRUST titers ≤1:8 group than that in 1:16-1:128 (P = .01) and 1:256-1:1024 groups (P = .005).This study revealed that ANS was the most common clinical type of NS in HIV-infected patients, which should be considered in HIV and syphilis co-infection patients without neurologic symptoms, especially in those with OS. "
2.	Penicillins (Penicillin)FDA Link 03/01/1990 - "The CSF VDRL became positive after 12 days of IV penicillin treatment for syphilitic meningitis in the 1st patient.
