Summary

A coxsackievirus B3 infection caused severe systemic symptoms and eye inflammation, including retinal vasculitis and uveitis. This case highlights the importance of considering viral infections in patients presenting with both ocular and extraocular symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Virology

Background:

  • Uveitis can present with diverse etiologies, including infectious agents.
  • Ocular manifestations of viral infections are increasingly recognized.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old woman presented with headache, diarrhea, and high-grade fever.
  • Ocular findings included unilateral retinal vasculitis, papillitis, and chorioretinitis.
  • Electrocardiographic abnormalities and specific antibody titers were noted.

Findings:

  • The clinical presentation and serological data strongly indicated a coxsackievirus B3 infection.
  • The patient exhibited significant extraocular symptoms alongside severe ocular inflammation.

Implications:

  • This case suggests coxsackievirus B3 should be considered in the differential diagnosis of uveitis with concurrent systemic symptoms.
  • Early identification of viral-induced uveitis is crucial for appropriate management and preventing vision loss.
