title: Celecoxib for recurrent sclerouveitis after syphilitic panuveitis. A case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of recurrent ocular inflammation after optimal therapy of bilateral syphilitic panuveitis responding to oral celecoxib.
  
  
  METHODS
  A case report was conducted.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 76-year-old man presented with painful blurry vision in both eyes. Ocular examination disclosed bilateral panuveitis. Serological testing confirmed blood and cerebrospinal fluid syphilitic involvement. After 2 weeks of intravenous penicillin therapy, recurrent episodic sclerouveitis was observed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ocular inflammation after healing of infectious uveitis is a rare ophthalmic sequela. In an immunocompetent patient, either re-infection or immune uveitis should be evoked. Non-steroidal therapeutic options, as celecoxib, could be a good option of treatment in such immune cases.
