How can syphilitics be prevented from progressive paralysis and tabes? Hauptmann (Klin. Woch., 1926, no. 16; on ref. Sovr. Psikhonnevr., vol. III, no. 3)
In answering this question, Hauptmann proceeds from the idea that the secondary phenomena are a protective reaction of the organism against the syphilitic poison. Where this reaction is weak for some reason, e.g. under the influence of antisyphilitic agents, the toxic effect of lues on the central nervous system and the local effect of the spirochaetes on it lead to brain damage, but this does not occur in the case of a strong reaction.
