Diagnosing Tabes Dorsalis in HIV-Negative Patients: Clinical Features, Neuroimaging, and Laboratory Insights in the Modern Antibiotic Era.

This study underscores the importance of neurological symptoms and signs in diagnosing tabes dorsalis. Individuals with progressive ataxia and positive Romberg's sign should be closely monitored for potential neurosyphilis. Integrating clinical features, laboratory tests, and neuroimaging could reduce misdiagnosis and expedite the initiation of anti-syphilitic therapy.
