Syphilis, caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, can have complex effects on the immune system. Initially, it triggers an immune response that includes the activation of various immune cells and the production of antibodies. However, as the infection progresses, the bacteria can evade the immune system through mechanisms like antigenic variation and immune suppression, ultimately leading to chronic inflammation and potential damage to various organs. This impaired immune response can leave individuals more susceptible to other infections and complicate the management of coexisting diseases.
