All cases presented with ocular manifestations. Eight patients were diagnosed with syphilis and two patients with syphilis\/human immunodeficiency virus co-infection. Type and duration of antibiotic treatments were diverse among the patients. Four patients had intramuscular benzyl-penicillin G 2.4 million units (MU) weekly for three weeks; four, intravenous ceftriaxone for 14 days; one, intravenous penicillin G 24 MU\/day for 14 days; and the remaining patient, intravenous penicillin G 24 MU\/day for a week and then oral doxycycline for two weeks. As adjunctive therapy to systemic antibiotics, oral corticosteroids in three patients and intravitreal ceftazidime (2.25 mg\/0.1 mL) injections in one patient were administered. In conclusion, ocular syphilis is a re-emerging phenomenon; prompt diagnosis and proper antibiotic treatment can prevent serious ocular complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09564624231195674","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,22]],"date-time":"2023-08-22T17:49:51Z","timestamp":1692726591000},"page":"817-822","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Never forget ocular syphilis: A case series from a single tertiary centre"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8235-4088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seher","family":"K\u00f6ksald\u0131","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8859-6432","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arzu","family":"Nazl\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahmut","family":"Kaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mahmut Kaya Eye Clinic, Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali Osman","family":"Saatci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-09564624231195674","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09273948.2017.1371765"},{"key":"bibr2-09564624231195674","first-page":"191","volume":"118","author":"Etheridge T","year":"2019","journal-title":"WMJ"},{"key":"bibr3-09564624231195674","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/ijsa.2011.011210"},{"key":"bibr4-09564624231195674","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5603\/OJ.2023.0004"},{"key":"bibr5-09564624231195674","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09273948.2020.1772839"},{"key":"bibr6-09564624231195674","volume-title":"Grafik 1.
