The charts of 8 patients diagnosed with and treated for focal posterior viral retinitis were reviewed. Clinical and demographic features were evaluated. All the patients had extensive laboratory tests, fundus fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography of macula, and polymerase chain reaction of vitreous.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All the patients were referred to our Uveitis Service from other hospitals, as their uveitis symptoms deteriorated in spite of treatment. The mean age of 4 male and 4 female patients was 32.1 years (range, 22\u201342 years). The mean follow-up period was 10 months (range, 6\u201318 months). All of the patients had unilateral disease. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of vitreous specimen was positive for herpes simplex virus-1 in 5 patients and varicella zoster virus in 3 patients. Retinitis resolved after systemic acyclovir treatment in all patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Viral etiology must be borne in mind in the differential diagnosis of atypical retinitis. It can be a milder form of viral retinitis like focal viral retinitis, as mentioned in this study. The prognosis of this disease is better than the other forms of necrotizing retinopathies involving a larger area of retina.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/112067211002000518","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,24]],"date-time":"2018-01-24T11:03:19Z","timestamp":1516791799000},"page":"925-930","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Focal Posterior Pole Viral Retinitis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Diele","family":"Hazirolan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Ophthalmology Department, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Ministry of Health, Ankara - Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gulten","family":"Sungur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Ophthalmology Department, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Ministry of Health, Ankara - Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Necati","family":"Demir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Ophthalmology Department, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Ministry of Health, Ankara - Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Remzi","family":"Kasim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Ophthalmology Department, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Ministry of Health, Ankara - Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sunay","family":"Duman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Ophthalmology Department, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Ministry of Health, Ankara - Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004397-200004000-00008"},{"key":"bibr2-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0039-6257(91)90184-H"},{"key":"bibr3-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(14)70075-3"},{"key":"bibr4-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(14)77012-6"},{"key":"bibr5-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/09273949709085066"},{"key":"bibr6-112067211002000518","first-page":"1088","volume-title":"Ocular Infection and Immunity.","author":"Holland G.N.","year":"1996"},{"key":"bibr7-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/IIO.0b013e31803777bb"},{"key":"bibr8-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.2004.042226"},{"key":"bibr9-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08820530500232027"},{"key":"bibr10-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(82)34628-X"},{"key":"bibr11-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0039-6257(91)90183-G"},{"key":"bibr12-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(14)76725-X"},{"key":"bibr13-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9394(84)90144-2"},{"key":"bibr14-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.transproceed.2006.02.132"},{"key":"bibr15-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0953-4431(00)00052-7"},{"key":"bibr16-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10792-007-9171-5"},{"key":"bibr17-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0039-6257(92)90003-C"},{"key":"bibr18-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-323-02598-0.50095-1"},{"key":"bibr19-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-323-02598-0.50081-1"},{"key":"bibr20-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2004.03.022"},{"key":"bibr21-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.2007.114884"},{"key":"bibr22-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2006.08.037"},{"key":"bibr23-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(03)00580-3"},{"key":"bibr24-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2007.02.033"},{"key":"bibr25-112067211002000518","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2007.05.014"},{"key":"bibr26-112067211002000518","unstructured":"NussenblattR.B., WhitcupS.M.
