Abstract

National case-based surveillance data show that reported neurologic manifestations of syphilis increased during 2019-2022 among persons with early and late-stage syphilis. Neurologic manifestations occurred across demographic groups and among those with and without HIV, highlighting the importance of evaluating for neurologic signs and symptoms in all persons with syphilis.
