Syphilis (cont.)

Outlook

Syphilis in the first 2 stages continues to be cured with penicillin-unlike other diseases that are becoming resistant to antibiotics. The outlook for people with tertiary syphilis is less optimistic. In one study, 20% of people with cardiovascular syphilis died without antibiotic therapy. More than 60% of these people, however, remain symptom free even without treatment.
