Ocular syphilis on the rise
A new study published in Nature Scientific Reports reveals a rising incidence of ocular syphilis, with untreated infections potentially leading to vision loss and blindness.
Researchers from Flinders University and University of Sao Paulo in Brazil analysed cases at four medical centres in Brazil over two and a half years. The number of cases of Ocular Syphilis had increased more than 8-times in this period, compared to the past decade.
