I contracted syphilis 15 years ago and according to my doctor was adequately treated. Now I have interstitial keratis and joint and kidney problems. Can this be from the syphilis if I was treated adequately and why?

 Hello,
Since you were adequately treated (I assume within the first year) you should have no problems as a result. The exception is if you had already suffered damage prior to treatment.
In untreated cases, there are certainly complications, but even then I am not familiar with these symptoms being associated. Anything is possible but I would not expect this complication.
Best wishes
