Abstract Purpose:This study aimed to investigate the clinical features of syphilitic uveitis at the Department of Ophthalmology, Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital.

Patients and Methods:This study included patients who visited our clinic between January 2013 and December 2022, tested positive on both non-treponemal and treponemal blood tests, and exhibited symptoms consistent with syphilitic uveitis. We retrospectively reviewed their medical charts to collect data on ocular findings, blood test results, administered anti-syphilitic treatments, and visual prognosis.

Results:Nineteen eyes(11 patients:nine men, two women;mean age, 43 years)were enrolled. Eight patients presented with bilateral disease, while three had unilateral involvement. Panuveitis was the most common anatomic classification(57.9%)with retinal vasculitis being the predominant ocular finding(73.7%). Acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis, a typical sign of syphilitic uveitis, was identified in only one eye. Antibiotic therapy was administered intravenously to seven patients, orally to one patient, both intravenously and orally to two patients, and both intravenously and intramuscularly to one patient. The average decimal visual acuity of 0.44 significantly improved to 0.89 on the final assessment. The causes of a final best-corrected visual acuity of less than 1.0 included outer retinal atrophy in three patients(four eyes), cystoid macular edema in two patients(three eyes), aftercataract in one patient(one eye), and posterior subcapsular opacification in two patients(two eyes).

Conclusions:Syphilitic uveitis manifests with nonspecific clinical findings, emphasizing the importance of its early diagnosis and treatment to improve visual acuity.
