With the acquisition of specialized laboratory techniques, as the determination of serum immune complexes and the auditory evoked potentials, which bring new knowledge, the study of syphilis must be reviewed, in particular the classification of the evolution periods. The authors consider latent syphilis and neuro-syphilis. Based on these facts the new ways of treatment as well as the evolution control must be revised. These test should always be performed in order to determine exactly the syphilis period of the patient.
