Is Neurosyphilis Reversible

Individuals with asymptomatic neurosyphilis or meningeal neurosyphilis usually return to normal health. People with meningovascular syphilis, general paresis, or tabes dorsalis usually do not return to normal health, although they may get much better.

Is neurosyphilis permanent?

You may never again develop symptoms. Without treatment, however, you have a greater chance of progressing to the tertiary stage of syphilis. This can lead to many serious complications, including brain damage and death.

Can neurosyphilis symptoms come and go?

Syphilis symptoms come and go over time, but that doesn’t mean the infection goes away. The ONLY way to get rid of syphilis is to take medicine for it. Syphilis leads to serious problems if you don’t treat it. But it’s usually easy to cure it with antibiotics when you treat it early.
