Degenerative changes are associated primarily with the frontal and temporal lobar cortex. The disease affects around 7 % of infected individuals; it also prevails among men.GPI was originally considered to be a type of madness due to a dissolute character, when it was first identified in the eighteenth century, until the cause-effect connection with syphilis was discovered in the late 1880s. Subsequently, the discovery of penicillin and its use in the treatment of syphilis rendered paresis both curable and even avoidable. Prior to that, paresis was inevitably fatal unless some other terminating illness intervened, and accounted for as much as 25% of the primary diagnosis for residents in public psychiatric hospitals."@en }
