AB  - The  lesions  associated  with  primary  and  secondary  syphilis  are  self-limiting,  even  without  treatment,  and  resolve  with  few  or  no  residua.  Ocular  and  otologic  syphilis  have  been  associated  with  permanent  vision  and  hearing  loss.  Tertiary  and  congenital  syphilis  may  be  highly  destructive  and  permanently  disabling  and  may  lead  to  death.  While  infection  is  rarely  eradicated  completely  in  the  absence  of  treatment,  most  infections  likely  remain  latent  without  sequelae,  and  only  a  small  number  of  latent  infections  progress  to  further  disease.
