A study of the cerebrospinal fluid sugar as measured in mg. per 100 cc. of cerebrospinal fluid in uncomplicated and untreated neurosyphilis is presented.
The values obtained range between 40 and 112 mg. with a mean value for all cases of 62.75 mg.
No true difference could be demonstrated between the mean values of the different types of neurosyphilis studied.
