Abstract
Neurosyphilis constitutes a heterogenous clinical presentation that, in rare cases, can include seizures. The immunosuppression caused by HIV may influence the clinical presentation of syphilis, leading to severe complications. We report a case of a 27-year-old man who presented with status epilepticus as a manifestation of syphilitic meningoencephalitis and a new diagnosis of HIV.
