    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Infectious diseases can present with ocular manifestations, particularly affecting the posterior segment of the eye.
    • These conditions are often seen in the pediatric population and can have significant visual consequences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the ocular manifestations of selected infectious diseases in the pediatric population.
    • To provide a comprehensive overview of etiology, epidemiology, clinical course, ocular involvement, and treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of infectious diseases with posterior ocular manifestations in children.
    • Synthesis of information regarding clinical presentation and management.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed discussion of various infectious diseases and their specific impact on the posterior eye segment.
    • Emphasis on the range of clinical manifestations and epidemiological data.

    Conclusions:

    • Ocular involvement in pediatric infectious diseases can lead to severe visual impairment.
    • Understanding these manifestations is critical for timely diagnosis and intervention to preserve vision.
