Hallucinosis Syphilitic

Syphilitic hallucinosis is a psychiatric term for a disorder of consciousness that involves vivid visual or auditory hallucinations. This disorder usually occurs against the background of an advanced syphilitic infection and is extremely rare in modern psychiatry.

With syphilis of the brain, positive serological reactions in the blood serum for syphilis are observed, but no positive skin tests are detected. This condition can last from several weeks to several months, but in rare cases it does not go away for weeks or even months due to extensive damage to the nerve tissue. Chest radiography and affective testing for syphilis are used to detect the disease.

The danger of syphilitic hallucination is due to the fact that patients can often continue to interact with people around them and expose them to the risk of infection. In addition, patients can destroy their own health and cause complications in relationships with loved ones.

Treatment should be carried out by a specialist in the field of psychiatry and
