Syphilis (Neuro syphilis)
Hello doctors,
I am a syphilis patient. I got exposed to syphilis 18 months back and was unaware of it. After 18 months I was tested for it and my reports were positive. RPR was 1:1 and TPHA was 1:2560.
Doctor prescribed me antibiotics and injections which are alternative to actual antibiotic which is supposed to be taken. I have taken oral antibiotics and injections. Please let me know at which stage neurosyphilis occur and is there any blood test to diagnose. Is there any chance that I am still suffering from syphilis/Neuro syphilis. I am 100% sure that I have not gone to any conditions which can have any reinfection of it.
