What can happen if you get syphilIS in your brain?

Answer 1

Syphilis, in the late stage of the disease, will get into the brain and cause dementia, insanity, and even death. It is important to be regularly tested for the disease (among others) if a person is sexually active with multiple partners.

Answer 2

If left untreated, syphilis can progress to neurosyphilis, where the bacteria infect the brain and spinal cord. This can lead to various neurological symptoms such as stroke, dementia, personality changes, and vision problems. neurosyphilis can be serious and potentially life-threatening if not treated promptly with antibiotics.
