most common injuries caused by syphilis?

Answer 1

The latent stage of syphilis start when the secondary symptoms like skin rashes go away.

If you are not treated you can get long term damage to the brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints.

In late stage syphilis, symptoms include not being able to move well, paralysis, numbness, blindness and dementia.This damage may be serious enough to
cause death.

Although medication will stop the infection, it will not fix any damage already done by the disease.

Answer 2

I don't think I understand your question; why would a STD cause injuries? I believe the first and most common symptom of sypillis would be sores on the genitals. If it goes without treatment for several years, syphillis can cause damage to the nervous system and brain. I don't think it happens in the USA as often as it did 50 years or so; I think most people who get syphillis usually get treated for it before it gets that bad. It might happen to people in Third World Countries, though, or if the person also has AIDS.

Answer 3

If not treated, it results in death. There are 3 stages. If you get some antibiotics you can easily stop in in the first stage. It's a good reason to have your blood checked once a year. They do it free when you donate blood. The first patient I was working with died of tertiary syphilis.
