Ocular syphilis is a resurgent clinical condition due to unsafe sexual practices. It has been reported in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients, but in HIV positive patients, it is more likely to exhibit a more aggressive course and adopt atypical clinical patterns such as optic nerve involvement. Herein we report an atypical case of optic neuritis secondary to syphilis in an HIV negative patient.

Methods: One hundred and eighteen eyes of 78 patients with PCG (group I) and 103 eyes of 53 controls (group II) were evaluated using ORA. In all participants, IOP was measured using the Perkins tonometer.
Case Report: A 24 year old woman who complained of maculo-papulo rash, genital and bucal aphthous ulcers, abdominal pain, minor dyspnea and visual loss in both eyes. Funduscopy revealed a bilateral occlusive vasculitis including central vessels. Treatment was initiated with a methylprednisolone bolus (1 g/24h) and infliximab 5mg/kg/day (0-2-6 weeks and every 8 weeks).

Methods: A total of 178 eyes of 178 healthy subjects were selected for the study. Measurements of IOP were made in a random order with GAT, PRO and CST.
