REPORT OF CASE Miss X, aged 15, was first seen on Sept. 11, 1930, for a refractive error (hyperopic astigmatism), which was easily corrected. She had been receiving antisyphilitic treatment for congenital syphilis over a period of years, under the direction of Prof. A. Austregesilo. She stated that she tolerated neither a bismuth preparation, administered in the form of bismuth sodium tartrate, nor the arsenicals. On Dec. 14, 1932, she was seen again with a complaint of visual disturbances, redness and ciliary pain in the right eye of one week's duration. There was an exudate in the anterior chamber, with circumcorneal injection and ciliary tenderness. A diagnosis of iritis was made, and atropine prescribed. The patient was referred to Dr. Nicolau Rossetti for further antisyphilitic treatment, consisting
