The article discusses the unresolved issues of diagnosis and treatment of combined syphilitic lesions of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Special attention is paid to poor awareness of cardiologists, neurologists, and psychiatrists about late syphilitic lesions of the internal organs and the nervous system. A clinical case of a postmortal diagnosis of this combined pathology, while the intravitam diagnosis was not made despite positive screening tests for syphilis, is provided as an illustration.
