A member asked:
Is syphilis serology (chemiluminescence immunoassay) accurate even if someone had been infected for say 10 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Death: Death would have insued if someone had syphilis that long. Syphilis is not a static infection. It is progressive and neurosyphilis would have killed a patient long before ten years.
