A recent study conducted at Manhattan Eye Ear and Throat Hospital in New York City highlighted the under-recognized feature of optic disc edema in birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR). The research emphasized the importance of recognizing optic disc edema as a presenting feature of BSCR, which can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment. The study involved a retrospective multicenter case series of 29 patients, indicating that a diagnosis of BSCR should be considered when disc edema occurs with vitritis, chorioretinal inflammation, and retinal vasculitis. Patients with these symptoms should be referred to a uveitis specialist for appropriate treatment. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, explores the impact of immune responses on chorioretinitis and retinal pathology following neonatal CMV infection. The research suggests that immune responses play a crucial role in driving pathology in the neonatal eye after CMV infection. This study provides valuable insights into congenital retinal diseases and highlights the importance of understanding the immune system's role in ocular health. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from the University Hospitals Eye Institute in Cleveland, Ohio describes a novel surgical technique for the treatment of refractory Candida chorioretinal lesions. The researchers utilized laser photocoagulation on a lesion in an immunosuppressed patient that was unresponsive to systemic and intravitreal antifungal medications. Following the laser treatment, the lesion remained resolved for over a year with no reactivation or extensions. This study suggests that laser photocoagulation may be a potential treatment option for refractory cases of Candida chorioretinitis. [Extracted from the article]

The article focuses on a study from Yan'an People's Hospital in China, that examines the clinical characteristics of syphilitic chorioretinitis by analyzing data from multiple patients. It details the typical symptoms, diagnostic methods, and imaging features of the condition, emphasizing the importance of accurate imaging to avoid missed or incorrect diagnoses.

A recent study conducted by researchers at University Hospital has provided new findings on chorioretinitis, specifically focusing on a case of solitary punctate chorioretinitis (SPC) in a Chinese patient. SPC is a form of punctate inner choroidopathy characterized by a single lesion in the macula's fovea. The study followed the patient for 91 months and found that the lesion slightly enlarged but remained stable without fluid exudation. The researchers concluded that SPC could potentially be a distinct subtype of punctate inner choroidopathy and that close monitoring is essential if choroidal neovascularization is suspected. The patient did not receive treatment, and their vision improved to 0.8. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from University Hospitals Bristol in the United Kingdom presents a case of an atypical combination of acute syphilitic necrotizing retinitis and acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis in an HIV-negative, immunocompetent patient. The patient, a 56-year-old man, experienced pain, blurred vision, and hearing loss in his left eye. Ocular examination revealed a yellowish placoid macular lesion and full-thickness retinitis. The patient was treated for neurosyphilis and received oral prednisolone to prevent a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. This case highlights the diverse presentations of ocular syphilis, even in immunocompetent patients. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by Erlanger Health System in Chattanooga, Tennessee, examines the evaluation and treatment of infants exposed to nongenital herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) through pregnant individuals. The study highlights the risks of infant morbidity and mortality associated with primary nongenital HSV infections in pregnant individuals and the need for further investigation into the evaluation and treatment of these infants. The study also provides information on the transmission and manifestations of HSV infections in infants. The article calls for more research to develop guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of infants born to pregnant individuals with primary nongenital HSV infections.

A study conducted by Erlanger Health System in Chattanooga, Tennessee, examines the transmission of herpes simplex virus (HSV) from pregnant individuals to their infants. The study reveals that pregnant individuals with primary nongenital HSV infections can pass the virus to their fetus or infant, resulting in significant health issues or even death. The research emphasizes the necessity for additional studies on the assessment and treatment of infants born to pregnant individuals with primary nongenital HSV infections. It also underscores the importance of considering the risk of infant HSV infection when pregnant individuals present with primary versus recurrent nongenital HSV infections. The study highlights the seriousness of infant HSV infection, which can lead to severe neurological complications. The highest risk of transmission occurs when an HSV-positive pregnant person has active genital lesions during delivery. Pregnant individuals who experience their first genital HSV outbreak during pregnancy have a 5% chance of transmitting the virus to their baby. While there are specific recommendations for evaluating and treating infants born to pregnant individuals with active genital lesions, there are currently no guidelines for infants born to pregnant individuals with primary nongenital HSV outbreaks. Further research is necessary to develop guidelines for this particular population. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the American University of Beirut highlights the increasing prevalence of chorioretinitis, a tropical ocular disease, in ophthalmology clinics. The research focuses on cases of presumed ocular onchocerciasis, a parasitic infection, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing the characteristic ocular findings and implementing appropriate therapy. The study concludes that onchocercal chorioretinitis is a slow, progressive disease that requires long-term management. This information is valuable for ophthalmologists, especially those in developed countries who may be less familiar with tropical ocular diseases. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of ocular infections caused by Candida species. The fourth most common cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection in the U.S. is the candida species.
