Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We present a case of sudden sensorineural hearing loss occurring as a complication of secondary syphilis. Syphilis affecting the inner ear, or otosyphilis, is well described in historical literature, but has rarely been reported in recent times. However, following the resurgence of syphilis in the UK, unusual manifestations such as otosyphilis are likely to be seen increasingly commonly.
