In 2020, over 138,000 cases were reported in the United States equating to a case report of 40.8 per 100,000 people. Ocular syphilis is a rare manifestation and is defined as the clinical presentation of ocular disease in a person with laboratory-confirmed syphilis infection of any stage, with estimated incidence of 0.6\u20132% of all cases. Syphilis is known as \u201cThe Great Imitator,\u201d and can present as nearly any form of ocular disease, though the most common manifestations are posterior uveitis and panuveitis. The highly variable clinical presentation of ocular syphilis often leads to delayed diagnosis allowing the potential for poor, often preventable outcomes. This highlights the need for providers to have a high level of clinical suspicion and awareness of ocular manifestations of syphilis, especially in high risk populations. We present a case series of five patients diagnosed with ocular syphilis at a military treatment facility. Each patient had different presenting symptoms as well as different ocular manifestations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usad238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,29]],"date-time":"2023-06-29T12:08:22Z","timestamp":1688040502000},"page":"e410-e413","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A Case Series of\u00a0Ocular Syphilis Cases at Military Treatment Facility From 2020 to 2021"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"189","author":[{"given":"Michelle","family":"Kautz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth , Portsmouth, VA 23708, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christa","family":"Kerbow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth , Portsmouth, VA 23708, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tida","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth , Portsmouth, VA 23708, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karl C","family":"Kronmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth , Portsmouth, VA 23708, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9074-9872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Dore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth , Portsmouth, VA 23708, USA"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences , Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024012918213653400_R1","article-title":"Sexually transmitted infections treatment guidelines, 2021 \u2013 Neurosyphilis, Ocular Syphilis, and\u00a0Otosyphilis","author":"CDC","year":"2021"},{"key":"2024012918213653400_R2","article-title":"Syphilis \u2013 CDC Detailed Fact Sheet","author":"CDC"},{"key":"2024012918213653400_R3","article-title":"Syphilis Ocular Manifestations","volume-title":"StatPearls [Internet]","author":"Koundanya","year":"2022"},{"key":"2024012918213653400_R4","article-title":"National Overview \u2013 Syphilis","author":"CDC","year":"2021"},{"issue":"3","key":"2024012918213653400_R5","first-page":"2","article-title":"Sexually transmitted infections, active component, U.S. Armed Forces, 2011\u20132019","volume":"27","author":"Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch","year":"2020","journal-title":"MSMR"},{"key":"2024012918213653400_R6","article-title":"Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2021","author":"CDC"},{"key":"2024012918213653400_R7","article-title":"Clinical advisory: ocular syphilis in\u00a0the United States 2015","author":"CDC","year":"2016"},{"issue":"43","key":"2024012918213653400_R8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1185","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm6543a2","article-title":"Ocular syphilis\u2014eight jurisdictions, united states, 2014\u20132015","volume":"65","author":"Oliver","year":"2016","journal-title":"MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024012918213653400_R9","first-page":"122","article-title":"Neurosyphilis, ocular syphilis, and\u00a0otosyphilis: detection and\u00a0treatment","volume":"106","author":"Jones-Vanderleest","year":"2022","journal-title":"Am Fam Physician"}],"container-title":["Military Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/milmed\/article-pdf\/189\/1-2\/e410\/56448624\/usad238.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/milmed\/article-pdf\/189\/1-2\/e410\/56448624\/usad238.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,29]],"date-time":"2024-01-29T18:23:19Z","timestamp":1706552599000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/milmed\/article\/189\/1-2\/e410\/7208916"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,27]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1-2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,27]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,23]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/milmed\/usad238","relation":{},"ISSN":["0026-4075","1930-613X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0026-4075","type":"print"},{"value":"1930-613X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,1]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,27]]}}}
