“…With recovery of the CD4 lymphocyte count, the ocular inflammation rebounded, similar to immune-recovery uveitis in HIV patients [8], manifesting as a shift in the clinical features to that typical of ARN. Transient antigen-specific immune deviation in patients with ARN has been reported [6] and may be induced by the VZV infection [1,7,10].…”

“…3 A less favored means of diagnosis is to measure viral antibody levels in both intraocular fluid and serum, subsequently calculating the quotient ratio (Q value or Goldmann-Witmer coefficient), with a titer ≥6 being positive, 1-6 suspected positive and <1 negative. 5,8 This approach requires a larger fluid sample and presents an opportunity for false negativity early in the course of the disease. The isolated evaluation of serum antibodies is of limited value beyond reflecting previous infection.…”

“…Uvéite granulomateuse, inflammation du vitré et vascularite rétinienne occlusive conduisent à une perte de l'acuité visuelle et éventuellement à un décolle-ment rétinien en l'absence de traitement. À moins que le patient n'ait reçu un traitement approprié, le second oeil est atteint dans un délai de 2 mois dans 33 à 50 % des cas [22]. Dix jours d'aciclovir intraveineux (30 mg/kg/jour), avec relais oral pendant 6-12 semaines, permettent d'accélérer la disparition des lésions et de réduire le risque d'atteinte du second oeil [21].…”

“…Dans les formes sévères et notamment en cas de neuropathie optique, une corticothérapie intraveineuse, dans les 24 heures suivant l'initiation des antiviraux, est recommandée [23]. Si les lésions aiguës disparaissent généralement en 6-12 semaines, le pronostic visuel reste très médiocre, puisque dans 75 à 85 % des cas une cécité est décrite [22].…”
