Syphilitic chorioretinitis is a rare manifestation of secondary syphilis. The Authors report a case of a patient tested positive for human immune deficiency virus. A 26-Year-old man presented with a history of suddenly blurred vision in the right eye. Because of a central scotoma, visual acuity was reduced to counting fingers. Slit-lamp examination found one-plus anterior chamber cells and one-plus vitreous cells. Results of ophthalmoscopic examination showed a large yellow lesion in the macular area with a papillar edema and peripheral vasculitis. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid were positive for syphilitic serology. Visual acuity improved to 20/20 after three courses of intravenous ceftriaxone (2g/day for 15 days). The fundus lesion resolved almost completely, resulting in slight pigmentary changes in the macular area. This case report highlights the need for syphilitic serology in cases of uveitis in immunocompromised patients.
