Abstract: É relatado caso de paciente com neurossífilis que apresentou deterioração clínica e persistência de alterações do líquido cefalorraqueano após repetidas tentativas terapêuticas com altas doses de penicilina. Tratamento com cloranfenicol resultou em estabilização do quadro clínico e melhora laboratorial. A case of neurosyphilis that got worse despite several therapeutical trials with high doses of penicillin is described. The clinical condition was stabilized and cerebrospinal fluid data normalized following treatment with chloramphenicol
