Answers:
Here's some information I found that looked like it may answer your question somewhat!. It basically states that neurosyphilis is not very common these days and Argyll-Robertson's pupils can be caused by other disorders:

However, with the declining incidence of neurosyphilis,
the Argyll Robertson pupil is increasingly
likely to indicate another disorder, such as sarcoidosis,
multiple sclerosis, and, occasionally, diabetes mellitus!.6Www@Answer-Health@Com
