The importance of examining the cerebrospinal fluid in syphilis is now unquestionable: this was clearly demonstrated at the 14th German Dermatology Congress in Dresden in September 1925, where everyone, as Iordan testified, "demanded the treatment of syphilis under the control of the cerebrospinal fluid examination". This was confirmed by a questionnaire on the treatment of syphilis organized by the editors of the journal Medizinische Klinik, which asked all the most prominent dermatologists for their views on the treatment of syphilis and in particular on the need for a lumbar puncture, the answer to the latter question being all positive.
