Abstract

Introduction: Whereas syphilis is a classical cause of uveitis, it is still often under-recognized. Treatment recommendations are not based on specific clinical studies. Case reports: We report two patients with syphilitic uveitis diagnosed and treated at the University Hospital of Angers. Ocular involvement was inaugural in both patients. Each had a specific treatment but none had a complete recovery of visual function. Conclusion: Syphilis must be discussed in all patients diagnosed with uveitis or papillitis. Although not evidence-based, prompt therapy may lead to functional recovery.
