Ocular Syphilis Presenting as Bilateral Acute Retinal Necrosis in an Immunocompetent Host.
Given the recent rise in reported cases of syphilis, clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for this great masquerader when evaluating patients with symptoms and signs of ocular inflammation. Ocular syphilis can present a diagnostic dilemma for ophthalmologists due to its myriad ofmanifestations. We report a case of ocular syphilis presenting as bilateral acute retinal necrosis (BARN) that we recently saw in Connecticut and review clinical signs, appropriate serum testing sequence, and specialized ophthalmic testing, as well as treatment of ocular syphilis.
期刊介绍:
The Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) is a federation of eight component county medical associations, with a total membership exceeding 7,000 physicians. CSMS itself is a constituent state entity of the American Medical Association. Founded by the physician-patriots of the American Revolution, the Society operates from a heritage of democratic principles embodied in its Charter and Bylaws. The base of all authority in CSMS is, of course, the individual physician member. It is the decisions of members in their own county associations that ultimately determine the nature of the Society"s policies and activities.
