Ocul Immunol Inflamm. 2008 May-Jun;16(3):119-20 Authors: Yeung SN, Blicker JA, Maberley DA PURPOSE: To describe an unusual case of latent Syphilis that presented with postoperative inflammation. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 62-year-old African American woman developed persistent postoperative inflammation following cataract surgery. Despite a regimen of topical corticosteroid, the inflammation did not settle. A uveitic workup indicated that the patient had latent Syphilis. She was referred to Infectious Disease and the inflammation resolved with intravenous penicillin. CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative inflammation has not previously been reported as the first sign of latent Syphilis. This report underscores the importance of considering Syphilis in the differential diagnosis of chronic inflammation, including the postoperative period.

Related Articles Unilateral facial paralysis after treatment of secondary Syphilis. J Drugs Dermatol. 2008 Jun;7(6):583-5 Authors: Berger EM, Galadari HI, Gottlieb AB Bell's palsy is an acute facial paralysis of unknown etiology. Infections including Syphilis have been implicated as causes for peripheral facial paresis. The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction is an acute worsening of skin manifestations and systemic symptoms occurring after administration of antimicrobial therapy for spirochetal infections. Although rare, neurological signs can present as part of the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. The authors report a case of Bell's palsy experienced by a patient shortly after treatment with penicillin for secondary Syphilis and propose that this acute unilateral peripheral facial paralysis was a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction in response to therapy. PMID: 18561591 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] ...
