Abstract
Co-existing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can alter the course and presentation of syphilis. Severe ocular manifestations and accelerated natural course of syphilis along with neurosyphilis may be associated with HIV infection. A 30-year-old man is described in whom syphilitic panuveitis and asymptomatic neurosyphilis served as a marker for HIV infection.Keywords
