Multiple studies around the world suggest that syphilis is re-emerging. Ocular syphilis – with a wide range of presentations, most of which are subtypes of uveitis – has become an increasingly common cause of ocular inflammation over the past 20 years. Its rising incidence, diagnostic complexity, and manifestations that have only recently been characterized make ocular syphilis relevant from the public health, clinical, and scientific perspectives. We review the demographics, epidemiology, clinical features, ocular imaging findings, diagnosis, and medical management of this condition.

眼梅毒
世界各地的多项研究表明梅毒正在重新出现。眼部梅毒——具有广泛的表现,其中大多数是葡萄膜炎的亚型——在过去 20 年中已成为越来越常见的眼部炎症原因。其不断上升的发病率、诊断复杂性和最近才被描述的表现使得眼梅毒从公共卫生、临床和科学角度具有相关性。我们回顾了这种情况的人口统计学、流行病学、临床特征、眼部影像学检查结果、诊断和医疗管理。
