Abstract

Syphilitic ocular involvement is thought to be rare in HIV infected patients. During a 5-year study in 509 HIV-positive patients, syphilis was diagnosed in 3.9%, and the eye was involved in one-fifth of these. The high risk for sequelae emphasizes the need for prevention and for early diagnosis.
