Activity Description

Argyll Robertson pupils describe the physical exam findings associated with advanced stages of syphilis. Characterized by bilateral small pupils that fail to constrict in response to bright light but exhibit constriction during near vision tasks, Argyll Robertson pupils are a diagnostic marker for tertiary syphilis. This activity provides participating clinicians with an in-depth explanation of the neurological and ophthalmological aspects of Argyll Robertson pupils, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical significance. Participating clinicians will enhance their proficiency in evaluating these findings, equipping them with the knowledge to recognize and differentiate this clinical sign within the context of late-stage syphilis. The course emphasizes the collaborative role of the interprofessional healthcare team in managing patients with tertiary syphilis, emphasizing a holistic approach to patient care. Through case studies and interactive discussions, participants will gain insights into the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, contributing to improved patient outcomes.
