The signs and symptoms usually resolve in 3 to 4 weeks, even without treatment. With treatment, all signs and symptoms should resolve completely. The secondary or tertiary form of the disease may develop if the initial infection is not treated.
Neurological or cardiac symptoms may develop in the second stage of the disease, followed by arthritis and brain or nerve damage in the third stage of the disease.
