Abstract

Introduction : Syphilis is called the great imitator because its clinical presentations vary widely and overlap with many other etiologies. We present a case of ocular syphilis in an immunocompetent young man with negative HIV test and history of unprotected sexual activities. Case Illustration : A 27 year-old male initially presented to an outpatient Solo Eye Hospital with complain of blurred vision and sudden visual impairment in the right eye and acute onset left eye redness, pain, clear discharge. His right eye VA was counting finger and 0,2 in his left eye. The patient diagnosed with acute posterior uveitis in the RE and acute iridocyclitis in the LE. A detailed sexual history, he endorsed having unprotected sex with numerous men in the past. Patient was subsequently started on P-Pred ED/2 hourly, atropine ED and testing to evaluate cause of iridocyclitis was sent. Fundus RE : clouded fundus view, vascular occlusion, vitreous opacification. Fundus LE : within normal limit. Rheumatoid factor negative, HIV antigen antibody screen non-reactive, syphilis IgG reactive, RPR screen reactive, RPR quantitative titer 1:128. ANA screen negative. The patient was started on intravenous penicillin G, and both his genital lesion and bilateral visual acuity improved. He was discharged to complete 14 fays of iv penicillin G. Discussion : HIV-positive patients may often present with ocular syphilis before the HIV status is known. Ocular syphilis is considered to be neurosyphilis for treatment purposes. Conclusion : Ocular syphilis should be kept in the differential diagnosis in immunocompetent/HIV negative patient, and the importance of obtaining a detailed sexual history should not be forgotten.

Abstract

Introduction : Eales’ Disease (ED) is an idiopathic inflammatory retinal vasculitis, affecting retinal veins of small and large caliber that results in extraretinal neovascularization with vitreous hemorrhage. The etiopathogenesis of ED is poorly understood. However, many studies have attributed inflammation as a response to mycobacterium tuberculosis. Treatment of this disease can be done with corticosteroids, anti-VEGF therapy, laser photocoagulation, and vitreoretinal surgery. Case Illustration : We reported a patient, a 31-year-old woman with complaints of blurred vision and floaters in both eyes. An initial examination showed the visual acuity of the RE was 0,1F1 and the LE was 0,1. Examination of the posterior segment found perivascular exudate and peripheral retinal neovascularization. We performed an OCT examination on both eyes and found that there was extensive macular edema, especially in the RE. Patient was diagnosed with ED and received steroidsas an initial treatment. But there was no improvement in both eyes. In addition, patient received two anti-VEGF injections in the RE and one injection in the LE and showed good improvement. After that injection, the posterior segment showed very minimal lesions on the macula and repeated OCT results showed normal central macular thickness. Discussion : Anti-VEGF may also play a role in the treatment and management of ED. This is because, besides inflammation, there is an increased expression of VEGF in vitreous patients with ED. Several case reported there is significant improvement in anti-VEGF injection in the management of patients with ED. Conclusion : Intravitreal anti-VEGF injection shows good results in ED that did not improve with steroid treatment.
