Description Development of neurologic autoimmunity following infectious disease is well known. Given recent advances in neuroimmunology and widespread availability of testing, there have been an increasingly large number of antibodies identified through investigations for a variety of clinical indications. We report two cases of neurosyphilis with concurrent acetylcholine (ACh) receptor binding antibodies without neuromuscular symptoms (false positive).
