Herpesvirus hominis Encephalitis and Retinitis

Measles retinopathy during immunosuppression.

“…Ocular involvement, including typical inclusion bodies and focal necrosis of the retina in congenital cytomegalic inclusion disease in an immunologically defective child, was described by Tarkkanen et al (1972). Similar retinal changes have also been reported in association with rubella (Krill, 1972) and herpes simplex infection in immunologically defective persons (Minckler et al, 1976;Johnson and Wisotzkey, 1977). Though measles virus seems to be able to produce an unusual type of encephalopathy during immunosuppression (see introduction), we are not aware of previous reports on retinal lesions in this condition.…”

Herpes Encephalitis-Associated Hemorrhagic-Occlusive Retinal Vasculitis: A Case Report

“…3 In the literature, retrograde retinal transmissions of HSV-1 secondary to HSV-1-induced encephalitis have previously been described. [4][5][6] While in most reports the involvement of the retina, secondary to HSV-1 induced encephalitis, manifests as ARN, in our case, we observed a hemorrhagic-occlusive retinal vasculitis.…”

Varicella-Zoster Virus Is Strongly Associated with Atypical Necrotizing Herpetic Retinopathies

“…With respect to the clinical picture itself, the association between acute necrotizing retinopathies and Herpesviridae [3,26] has been long debated [27]. It was not until 1976 that the first electron microscopic studies identified HSV [28] and VZV [29] as possible etiologic agents. Using immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy, Culbertson et al [21] demonstrated the presence of viral particles in the retina of eyes enucleated from patients with ARN, and later they [11] were able to isolate VZV in cell cultures of one of two enucleated eyes.…”
