How long until syphilis turn into neurosyphilis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
10-20 years: From the national library of medicine: neurosyphilis is caused by treponema pallidum, the bacteria that cause syphilis. It usually occurs about 10 - 20 years after a person is first infected with syphilis. Not everyone who has syphilis will develop this complication.
