Neurosyphilis is a bacterial infection of the brain or spinal cord. It occurs as a late-stage complication of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Neurosyphilis can result in various neurological problems, including dementia, stroke, meningitis, loss of muscle coordination, numbness, visual impairment or even blindness. The symptoms depend on the specific part of the nervous system affected by the infection.
