Acute Retinal Necrosis (ARN), a rare herpes virus infection, often leads to poor vision, especially in immunocompromised patients. Early diagnosis and combined antiviral treatments can improve outcomes and prevent complications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Acute Retinal Necrosis (ARN) is a severe viral retinitis.
  • Often associated with herpes simplex virus (HSV) or varicella-zoster virus (VZV).
  • Immunocompromised individuals face higher risks and poorer prognoses.

Purpose:

  • To review literature on ARN management.
  • To present clinical experience with ARN cases.
  • To emphasize early diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Summary:

  • ARN diagnosis is confirmed via PCR and antibody detection in ocular fluids.
  • Combined systemic and intravitreal antivirals (Acyclovir, Foscarnet, Ganciclovir) are crucial.
  • Prompt intervention improves visual outcomes and reduces complications.
