    This study presents six cases of presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome, noting negative skin tests and supporting HLA B7 associations. Laser treatment showed promise, but the condition's cause remains unknown.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Immunogenetics

    Background:

    • Presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (POHS) is a condition with debated etiology.
    • Understanding the clinical spectrum and potential treatments for POHS is crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • Presents six patients with typical and rare manifestations of POHS.
    • Details the use of Krypton laser photocoagulation in one patient, yielding encouraging results.
    • Reports negative histoplasmin skin testing across all evaluated cases.

    Findings:

    • HLA typing results reinforce a previously observed association with HLA B7.
    • No association was found with the HLA DRw2 antigen.
    • The study highlights that POHS occurs globally, not just in America.

    Implications:

    • The findings contribute to the understanding of POHS clinical presentation and genetic associations.
    • Krypton laser photocoagulation may be a viable treatment option for certain POHS complications.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the obscure etiology of presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.
