(3) Treat with 3 doses of benzathine penicillin
SALIENT POINTS:
The 2015 US CDC STD guidelines do not recommend an LP for adults with late latent syphilis unless there are findings consistent with neurosyphilis, including eye disease or deafness.
In the absence of an abnormal LP or findings consistent with neurosyphilis, the guidelines recommend three weekly doses of benzathine penicillin G, 2.4 million units per dose.
