    Description
    A monocular man in his sixties presented with blurred vision in the right eye for two months. Optical coherence tomography demonstrated vitreous cells and characteristic inflammatory deposits of the outer retina and retinal pigment epithelium, and laboratory testing confirmed the diagnosis of syphilis. He was admitted for intravenous penicillin and consultation with a specialist in infectious diseases.
