“…ARN is characterized by discrete foci of peripheral retinal necrosis, circumferential spread, occlusive arteriolar retinopathy, vitreous or anterior chamber reaction, and rapid disease progression. 107 Secondary retinal detachment is a known possible complication of ARN. 108 ARN has an increased prevalence in men with 56-72% of ARN patients being male.…”

Uveitides can be due to non-infectious and infectious etiologies. It has been observed that there is a gender difference with a greater preponderance of non-infectious uveitis in women than in men. This review will describe both non-infectious and infectious uveitides and describes some of the current autoimmune mechanisms thought to be underlying the gender difference. It will specifically look at non-infectious uveitides with systemic involvement including juvenile idiopathic arthritis, spondyloarthopathies, sarcoidosis, Behçet’s disease, and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and at uveitides without systemic involvement including sympathetic ophthalmia, birdshot chorioretinitis, and the white dot syndromes. Infectious uveitides like acute retinal necrosis, progressive outer retinal necrosis, and cytomegalovirus mediated uveitis will be mentioned. Different uveitides with female- or male- predominance are presented and discussed.

“…108 ARN has an increased prevalence in men with 56-72% of ARN patients being male. 77, 107-109 Further, ARN severity is correlated with gender; in one study of 22 individuals with ARN, male gender was a risk factor for severe vision loss at 6 and 12 months (p = 0.019 and p = 0.008 respectively). 109 …”

“…However, recent case series suggest that combined intravenous and intravitreal antivirals may modestly improve final visual outcomes [13]. The other differential diagnosis of PORN includes CMV retinitis that affects mainly HIV patients, but differs from PORN by the insidious progression and the peripheral involvement of the retina [14].…”

“…This syndrome has been termed progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) and is caused most often by VZV. 11,12 Two research articles 13,14 and two letters 15,16 in this issue of Ocular Immunology & Inflammation present important findings relevant to the clinical presentation, progression, and management of NHR.…”
