    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Syphilitic uveitis incidence is increasing, representing up to 1% of uveitis cases.
    • Manifestations of ocular syphilis are often polymorphic and atypical.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of syphilitic uveitis are presented at different stages: secondary, latent, and late.
    • Bacteriologic sterilization in ocular syphilis is challenging, with frequent recurrences observed.

    Findings:

    • High-dose intravenous penicillin G is the recommended treatment for syphilitic uveitis.
    • Systematic association of HIV serology with syphilis testing is crucial.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are vital for managing syphilitic uveitis.
  • Understanding the atypical presentations of ocular syphilis is important for clinicians.
  • Co-testing for HIV in syphilis patients can improve patient outcomes.
