Syphilis, particularly in its late stages, can lead to neurological complications, including tabes dorsalis, which affects the spinal cord and can result in ataxia. Ataxia in this context is due to the degeneration of the dorsal columns and the involvement of the nervous system. However, ataxia is not a common symptom of early syphilis and typically occurs in advanced cases where neurological damage has occurred. If neurological symptoms are present, it is essential to seek medical evaluation and treatment.
