“…The pathogenesis of ASPPC was presumed to reflect the wide dissemination of spirochetes to include the area around the retinal pigment epithelium [3]. Another explanation was that ASPPC arose because of deposition of soluble immune complexes [2]. Our immunocompetent patients developed ASPPC after IVTA injection.…”

Two types of chorioretinitis have been described: a disseminated type, usually bilateral, showing yellow-grey, inflammatory lesions associated with vitreitis, and a rarer type that can affect the region of the disk or the macula [25,28].…”
