Neurosyphilis refers to the involvement of the central nervous system by . Ocular syphilis can present with a range of manifestations, uveitis being the most common, and it can occur at any stage of acquired syphilis. There are multiple tests available for the diagnosis of syphilis. Moreover, the treatment of syphilis depends upon the stage of the disease. For years, the management of syphilitic uveitis was controversial among physicians, with several reviews debating whether ocular syphilis is a subtype of neurosyphilis. Recent recommendations state that ocular syphilis should be treated similarly to neurosyphilis, even with a normal liquor examination. Herein, we describe a case of a 57-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with ocular syphilis.
神经梅毒是指梅毒螺旋体累及中枢神经系统。眼部梅毒可表现出一系列症状,其中葡萄膜炎最为常见,且可发生于获得性梅毒的任何阶段。有多种检测方法可用于梅毒的诊断。此外,梅毒的治疗取决于疾病的阶段。多年来,梅毒相关性葡萄膜炎的治疗在医生中存在争议,有多项综述探讨眼部梅毒是否为神经梅毒的一种亚型。最近的建议指出,即使脑脊液检查正常,眼部梅毒的治疗也应与神经梅毒类似。在此,我们描述一例57岁男性患者被诊断为眼部梅毒的病例。
