摘要
Background: Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is characterized by the triad of acute vitritis, peripheral necrotizing retinitis and vasculitis. Case Report: We report a case of 54-year-old woman with bilateral acute retinal necrosis associated with neuroinfection. Her past medical history included renal transplantation, hypertension and aortic stenosis. Observational case report: Diagnostic investigations included biochemical tests, lumbar puncture, eye ultrasonography and MRI of the brain. Anti-HSV IgG antibody titers were elevated in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. In MRI T2-mode, inflammatory changes were found in the white matter of the right hemisphere. The patient was treated with systemic acyclovir, itraconazole, metronidazole and ciprofloxacin for 3 weeks. Retinal detachment was observed in both eyes. Conclusions: Acute retinal necrosis can be the single manifestation of herpes virus reactivation in patients after organ transplantation.
