Wegner-Korzun Syphilitic Osteochondritis

Wegner-Korzuna syphilitic osteochondritis is an infectious-inflammatory disease from the group of osteochondritis of a non-infectious nature, which is based on the degeneration and destructive process of the cartilage of the intervertebral disc of the spine. Histological examination of the intervertebral disc reveals a para- and perichordal granuloma without signs of sclerosing myositis and osteosclerosis or a fibrous capsule of the cartilaginous structure. For diagnosis, radiography of the vertebrae and other laboratory research methods are used.

In 2023, scientists from the Moscow Regional Research Clinical Institute named after M. F. Vladimirtsev, together with colleagues from the Russian Medical Academy of Continuing Professional Education (RMAPE) and the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Research Institute of Rheumatology named after V. A. Nasonova" and the Research Institute of Clinical Immunology named after Zhores Alferov discovered that the bacteria that cause syphilis can also cause degeneration of the intervertebral discs, including in areas of the spine not directly affected by syphilis. This phenomenon is called “syphilitic osteochondritis.”

Wegner-Coagulant Syphilitic Osteochondera is a rare disease that occurs due to various infections, including syphilis. It represents inflammation of the spine and joints, as well as other complications. In this article we will talk about what Wegners coagulant Syphilitic Colencoterro is and how to treat it.

The onset of the disease is manifested by severe malaise, weakness, and aching in the bones of the spine. The patient sharply limits his movements and remains fully active only for short periods of time. The body temperature rises and the painful swelling around the affected joint increases in size. As the disease progresses, symptoms of conjunctivitis are observed, lymph nodes become enlarged, and body temperature decreases. Soon the larynx, femur, shoulder, abdomen and buttocks become swollen - a general lesion. The ulcer can even be in the eye. At this point, the patient can no longer be cured. The surgical method does not always have a positive result, since the ulcer causes the cornea of ​​the eye to dry out on the sclera. Even if the ulcer is cleared, tender scar tissue forms in its place.
