Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the characteristics and treatments of ocular syphilis over the past two decades, focusing on its association with syphilitic uveitis and HIV coinfection.
- It is based on a retrospective review of 16 patients with confirmed ocular syphilis from a hospital in Prague, revealing a rise in syphilitic uveitis cases and detailing various forms of uveitis observed.
- The findings suggest that posterior uveitis and optic disc edema are key indicators of ocular syphilis, and that using corticosteroids alongside antibiotics may be beneficial for treating severe cases.
