BACKGROUND: Syphilis can cause neurologic, ocular, or otic manifestations, possibly resulting in permanent disability or death. In 2018, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began collecting syphilis clinical manifestation data via the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System. We present the first reported US syphilis neurologic, ocular, and otic manifestation prevalence estimates.
METHODS: We reviewed 2019 National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System data to identify jurisdictions reporting 70% or greater of syphilis cases 15 years or older with clinical manifestation data (considered "complete reporting"). Among these jurisdictions, we determined reported neurologic, ocular, and otic manifestation prevalence, stratified by demographic, behavioral, and clinical characteristics.
RESULTS: Among 41,187 syphilis cases in 16 jurisdictions with complete reporting, clinical manifestations were infrequently reported overall: neurologic (n = 445, 1.1%), ocular (n = 461, 1.1%), otic (n = 166, 0.4%), any (n = 807, 2.0%). Reported clinical manifestation prevalence was highest among cases 65 years or older (neurologic, 5.1%; ocular, 3.5%; otic, 1.2%) and those reporting injection drug use (neurologic: 2.8%; ocular: 3.4%; otic: 1.6%). Although reported neurologic and ocular manifestation prevalence was slightly higher among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected versus HIV-negative persons, approximately 40% of cases with manifestations were HIV-negative. Reported otic manifestation prevalence was similar regardless of HIV status. When stratifying by HIV status and syphilis stage, reported prevalence was highest among HIV-infected persons with unknown duration/late syphilis (neurologic, 3.0%; ocular, 2.3%; otic, 0.7%).
CONCLUSIONS: Reported neurologic, ocular, and otic manifestation prevalence was low among syphilis cases, but these data are likely an underestimate given potential underreporting. Reported clinical manifestation frequency, including among HIV-negative persons, emphasizes the importance of evaluating all syphilis cases for signs/symptoms of neurosyphilis, ocular syphilis, and otosyphilis.
