A case of dengue maculopathy with spontaneous recovery.
Case Reports in Ophthalmology 2013 May
PURPOSE: To report a case of dengue maculopathy, which resolved spontaneously without treatment.
METHODS: A 25-year-old female patient with good past health was admitted to a general hospital in Hong Kong with fever of unknown origin after traveling to Indonesia. Based on the clinical features and a positive real-time polymerase chain reaction for dengue virus type 1, she was diagnosed with dengue fever. The patient developed dengue macu-lopathy mainly affecting the vision of her left eye. Abnormalities on a multifocal electro-retinogram showed bilateral involvement.
RESULTS: As there is no proven treatment for dengue maculopathy, the patient opted for observation. Her vision returned to normal within 3 weeks.
CONCLUSION: Dengue maculopathy can cause severe visual loss and may resolve without treatment.
