    Glossary Neurosyphilis

    infection spreads to nervous system causing severe neurological symptoms

    Neurosyphilis is a severe, late-stage manifestation of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It occurs when the infection spreads to the nervous system, potentially leading to symptoms such as headaches, altered mental status, sensory deficits, and even paralysis. Early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are crucial to prevent irreversible damage.
