A clinical presentation is given where a pupil constricts with accommodation and is not reactive to light. What is the treatment? The bug? The name of the syndrome? AND what is the method to visualize the bug!

the bug is treponema pallidum.
diagnosis by:
1/non specific test: nontreponemal reaginic : VDRL/RPR or automated reagin test (ART)
specific treponemal antibodies: more specific but too expensive used only to confirm reagin test /// FTA -abs; TPHA
trt: peni G ( benzylpenicillin)
