Syphilis itself is not usually fatal, but if left untreated, it can progress through several stages, potentially leading to severe health complications over many years. The tertiary stage, which can occur 10 to 30 years after initial infection, may cause serious damage to organs, including the heart and brain, which can be life-threatening. However, timely treatment with antibiotics is highly effective in curing syphilis and preventing such severe outcomes. Regular testing and early intervention are essential for maintaining health.
