| Abstract;Vitreous opacity was detected in the left eye of a female infant on day 48 after birth. She had been born premature at 29 weeks of gestation with birthweight of 1,308g. When examined on day 28, both eyes had shown avascular area with neovascularization in the temporal periphery. On day 51, yellow exudates with hemorrhage appeared in the superior nasal area in her left fundus. She was given acyclovir and corticosteroid under the diagnosis of acute retinal necrosis. Similar fundus lesions developed in her right eye one month later while her left eye showed repeated recurrences. Eventually, the exudates became absorbed leaving chorioretinal scarring with no recurrence after 3 months of onset. After 3 months of age, repeated blistering occurred in her lips and fingers, suggesting herpes simplex virus as the cause of uveitis. (author abst.) |
