Variable R1 region in varicella zoster virus in fulminant type of acute retinal necrosis syndrome. (1/48)

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a causative agent in acute retinal necrosis (ARN) syndrome. However, in spite of aggressive antiviral therapy, clinical characteristics among patients have varied. Different viral strains were examined to determine their respective role in producing clinical characteristics. The viral strains were also compared with those of previously reported ones. METHODS: To differentiate VZV strains R1 and R5, variable regions of VZV were amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 11 eyes of 10 patients. Sequence analysis was also performed. RESULTS: Four cases had strains diverted only at the tip of the 3' end of the R1 variable region, similar to that of the H-N3 strain, which was previously reported. Conversely, other cases were diverted to other regions. Interestingly, some of the latter cases showed multiple PCR products in the R1 region that were generated by the truncation of either the 5' or 3' R1 region. Final visual acuities of these patients were less than 0.2. The former cases showed final visual acuities more than 0.4. Only two variants were from the R5 region. No patient had the same viral strain as the European Dumas type. CONCLUSION: These results showed that variable VZV strains participated in ARN. Using PCR of the R1 variable region, it was estimated that patients with a more fulminant type of ARN may have diverse viruses with extensive replication in the affected eyes.  (+info)

Laboratory investigations on viral and Chlamydia trachomatis infections of the eye: Sankara Nethralaya experiences. (2/48)

PURPOSE: To review our experiences on the laboratory investigations of viral and chlamydial conjunctivitis, congenital cataract and acute retinal inflammations seen from 1990 to 1998 at Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai, India. METHODS: Conjunctival swabs/scrapings from 1061 patients with conjunctivitis were investigated. Nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) techniques were applied on 74 conjunctival swabs during the 1996 outbreak of acute viral conjunctivitis. The occurrence of Rubella virus in 86 lens aspirates of congenital cataract was investigated. Tests were performed for the association of Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) with acute retinal inflammation in 32 patients. RESULTS: The causative agents of conjunctivitis were Adenovirus in 13.8%, HSV in 2.2% and C. trachomatis in 20.9% of the patients. Epidemics were due to Adenovirus type 4 in 1991, type 3 in 1992-93 and type 7a in 1996. PCR was 37.9% more sensitive in detecting Adenovirus than virological methods. RFLP identified the conjunctivitis epidemic strain of 1996 as Adenovirus 7a. Rubella virus was isolated from 8.1% of lens aspirates from congenital cataract. Nineteen of the 32 patients with acute retinitis had confirmed virus infections (VZV: 8; HSV: 5; and CMV: 6) and the rapid detection of the virus agent helped institute specific chemotherapy resulting in useful vision in some patients. CONCLUSION: Laboratory investigations for diagnosis of viral and C. trachomatis ocular infections were useful in establishing the aetiology and determining the incidence of causative agents of specific ocular diseases.  (+info)

Intraocular T cells of patients with herpes simplex virus (HSV)-induced acute retinal necrosis recognize HSV tegument proteins VP11/12 and VP13/14. (3/48)

It has previously been shown that T cells specific for the triggering virus infiltrate the eye of patients with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-induced acute retinal necrosis (ARN). The T cells were mainly directed against 0.67-0.73 HSV-1 map region encoded antigens. The fine specificities of genetically different T cell clones (TCC), obtained from affected eyes of 3 patients with HSV-induced ARN and reactive toward this genomic region of HSV-1, were analyzed with recombinant HSV viruses and synthetic peptides. For 1 patient, the HSV-1 UL46 gene encoded tegument protein VP11/12 was identified as the target antigen. Two separate CD4(+) T cell epitopes were defined in VP11/12. TCC from the other 2 patients recognized the HSV-1 UL47 gene encoded tegument protein VP13/14. Two separate CD4(+) VP13/14 T cell epitopes were identified in these patients. Analysis of the data indicates that HSV-1 VP11/12 and VP13/14 are major target antigens for T cells obtained from vitreous fluid samples of the HSV-induced ARN patients studied.  (+info)

Findings in a patient with herpes simplex viral meningitis associated with acute retinal necrosis syndrome. (5/48)

We report the case of a 41-year-old man with clinical findings of viral meningitis associated with acute retinal necrosis syndrome in his right eye. MR images showed right optic nerve enlargement and high-intensity signal abnormalities in the region of the left lateral geniculate body and the left occipital lobe.  (+info)

Unilateral varicella zoster virus ophthalmicus and contralateral acute retinal necrosis. (6/48)

We report two patients who developed varicella zoster virus (VZV) ophthalmicus complicated by ipsilateral keratouveitis, and within 4 weeks developed acute retinal necrosis (ARN) in the contralateral eye. The ipsilateral retina was spared in each case. One patient had systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the other Hodgkin's disease. Both patients were in remission at the time of presentation.  (+info)

Polymerase chain reaction analysis of aqueous humour samples in necrotising retinitis. (7/48)

AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic value of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed on aqueous humour for the detection of viral DNA in patients with necrotising herpetic retinitis. METHODS: The clinical features and laboratory results of 22 patients (29 eyes) presenting with necrotising herpetic retinitis between March 1999 and June 2001 were reviewed retrospectively. Aqueous humour was obtained after anterior chamber paracentesis and PCR was performed in all cases. RESULTS: Viral DNA was detected in the aqueous humour of 19 patients (86.4%). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) seroconversion was evidenced in one additional patient. In the acute retinal necrosis (ARN) group (n = 19), varicella zoster virus (VZV) DNA was identified in six patients, herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) DNA in two patients, herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) DNA in four patients, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) genome in four patients. In the progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) group (n = 3), VZV DNA was detected in all patients. No sample was positive for more than one virus. CONCLUSIONS: PCR analysis of aqueous humour in patients with clinical features of necrotising viral retinitis can provide specific aetiological orientation and the method appears to be safe and highly sensitive.  (+info)

Detection of cytomegalovirus from vitreous humor in a patient with progressive outer retinal necrosis. (8/48)

A case of progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) caused by Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is reported.  (+info)

Acute Retinal Necrosis Syndrome (ARNS) is a rare, but severe ophthalmological emergency that primarily affects otherwise healthy individuals. It is characterized by rapid, progressive necrosis (death of cells) of the retina, the innermost layer of the eye responsible for processing visual images. The condition typically presents unilaterally (in one eye), but has a high risk (up to 75%) of progressing to involve the other eye within several weeks.

The primary causative agents of ARNS are various viruses, most commonly herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1, HSV-2) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). These viruses gain access to the retina via hematogenous spread (dissemination through the bloodstream), infecting the retinal vessels and causing a robust inflammatory response that results in necrosis of the retinal tissue.

The clinical presentation of ARNS includes:

1. Acute onset of visual loss, typically over several days to two weeks.
2. Floaters (small, dark spots or strands that appear in the field of vision) and photopsias (flashes of light).
3. Inflammation of the anterior chamber of the eye (anterior uveitis), characterized by cells and flare in the aqueous humor.
4. Vitritis (inflammation of the vitreous gel that fills the space between the lens and retina) with associated snowball or string-of-pearls opacities.
5. Retinal arteritis (inflammation of the retinal arteries), characterized by segmental narrowing, occlusion, and/or periarterial sheathing.
6. Progressive necrosis of the retina, often leading to retinal detachment and severe visual impairment or blindness if left untreated.

The diagnosis of ARNS is primarily clinical, based on the characteristic signs and symptoms, as well as supportive laboratory tests such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of aqueous humor or vitreous samples to detect viral DNA. Imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography can also aid in the diagnosis and management of this condition.

Treatment typically involves antiviral therapy, such as intravenous acyclovir, to target the underlying viral infection. Corticosteroids are often used concurrently to manage the inflammatory response. Immunomodulatory agents like intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or plasma exchange may also be considered in severe cases or when there is a poor response to initial therapy.

Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of ARNS are crucial for preserving visual function and preventing complications such as retinal detachment. Regular follow-up with an ophthalmologist is essential for monitoring disease progression, managing complications, and adjusting treatment plans as necessary.
