Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Syphilis presents with diverse clinical manifestations, posing challenges for diagnosis, especially in the fast-paced emergency department (ED) setting.
CASE REPORT: We report a rare case of unilateral syphilitic uveitis in an individual who had been sexually abstinent for 13 years. Using ocular point-of-care ultrasound in the ED, we successfully diagnosed this uncommon ocular manifestation.
CONCLUSION: Our case highlights the diagnostic challenges of ocular syphilis and emphasizes the crucial nature of timely identification. Collaborative efforts with specialties such as ophthalmology are essential in overcoming these challenges.
