Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of scleritis who was eventually diagnosed with syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection. Case:A 30-year-old male presented with hyperemia in the left eye since 3 weeks before. He had no history of traveling overseas or of keeping pets. Findings:The left eye showed nodular scleritis in the upper temporal sector. Skin eruptions were present in the face and upper extremities. Treatment with topical medications was followed by necrotic scleritis. He was found positive for syphilis and HIV 10 days after his initial visit. Treatment for syphilis and highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART)resulted in cure of skin lesions leaving thinning of the sclera. Conclusion:Scleral lesion in the present case appears to have been gumma characteristic to the third stage of syphilis. Mixed infection by syphilis and HIV may result in severe or atypical manifestations of the disease.
