A rare case of bilateral acute retinal necrosis due to varicella zoster virus in a patient of Multiple myeloma
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Research and Ophthalmology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Acute retinal necrosis syndrome (ARN) is a well-defined entity with characteristic clinical picture of progressive intraretinal inflammation and necrosis and is caused by one of the members of the Herpes group of viruses. The condition occurs typically in otherwise healthy patients. Rarely ARN has been reported in immunosuppressed patients with AIDS. We report a rare case of Multiple myeloma patient presenting with bilateral ARN, which to our knowledge is the first such case reported from India.
