Ocular Syphilis - Clinical Features and Outcome in HIV Positive and HIV Negative Patients from a Tertiary Eye Center from India - A Comparative Study.

Purpose: To study and compare the clinical characteristics and outcome of ocular syphilis between HIV positive and HIV negative patients.

Methods: Retrospective hospital-based case series from a tertiary eye care hospital in India. Patients with uveitis and positive syphilis serology were included.

A COVID-19 perspective of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS).

Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) is a rare form of posterior uveitis characterized by involvement in the posterior pole and mid-periphery. A viral etiology that provokes an immune-mediated response has been hypothesized to be the inciting factor of the pathology. Recently, there has been an increase in the literature regarding new-onset uveitis and reactivation of previously diagnosed cases of uveitis following COVID-19 vaccinations.

Bilateral Scleritis with Heterogeneous Etiologies: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Purpose: To report a patient with bilateral scleritis who was initially treated for infectious scleritis, and subsequently diagnosed as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).

Method: Retrospective chart review.

Result: A 48-year-old female with a known history of diabetes presented with pain, redness, and blurring of vision in the right eye.

Branch retinal vein occlusion in a case of recalcitrant diffuse anterior scleritis treated with tofacitinib.

A 47-year-old woman with hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis presented with non-necrotizing scleritis in both eyes. Despite a course of oral corticosteroids, she continued to experience persistent symptoms. A rheumatologist was consulted and initiated treatment with tofacitinib, a JAK/STAT inhibitor.

Acute Retinal Necrosis: A Covid-19 Perspective.

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a relatively uncommon yet devastating cause of vision-threatening uveitis. This manuscript analyzed the cases of ARN that have been reported following SARS-CoV-2 infections and anti- SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations. A total of nine cases of ARN were reported in the literature.

Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Moxifloxacin for Treatment of Tubercular Choroidal Granuloma and Sub retinal Abscess.

Purpose: To report the treatment response of a case of tubercular choroidal granuloma and subretinal abscess with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) and moxifloxacin.

Method: Retrospective interventional case report.

Results: A 34-year-old man presented with bilateral choroidal granuloma and subretinal abscess in one eye.
