“…Kapoor et al retrospectively assessed 134 dengue fever patients, among whom up to 40% had ocular manifestations (Kapoor et al, 2006 ). Ocular complications involve: (1) the anterior segment of the eye, e.g., subconjunctival hemorrhage, uveitis, or a shallow anterior chamber (Cruz-Villegas et al, 2003 ; Pierre Filho Pde et al, 2008 ); (2) the posterior segment of the eye, e.g., maculopathy, macular edema, optic neuropathy, or vitreous hemorrhage (Nainiwal et al, 2005 ; Bacsal et al, 2007 ; Chang et al, 2007 ; Tan et al, 2007 ; Kanungo et al, 2008 ; Loh et al, 2008 ; Quek et al, 2009 ). Presentation of dengue-related ocular signs and symptoms often corresponds to thrombocytopenia (Chan et al, 2006 ; Teoh et al, 2006 ).…”

“…Dengue fever-associated acute angle-closure glaucoma was reported previously. [ 15 16 ] They postulated that this syndrome causes ciliary body edema, which triggers acute angle-closure. Though no attempts were made to isolate the DENV from the eye, these reports indirectly incriminate the uveal tissue as the site of pathology.…”
