7. Neuropathy
If the patient is not suitably treated in time then they can begin to develop neurological problems. These can include meningitis, which is the inflammation of the protective tissues (meninges) that protects the central nervous system.
Other potential conditions include weakness and numbness in limbs and extremities, and an impaired ability to move your muscles. Another symptom is Bell’s palsy, which is the paralysis of one side of the face. Neuropathy is a condition that can become dangerous if left untreated, and it can also begin months or even years after the infection.
