Résumé

Bartonella henselae es el agente etiológico de la enfermedad por arañazo de gato. Típicamente, se presenta como una linfadenopatía regional autolimitada y, con menor frecuencia, con compromiso sistémico y manifestaciones extraganglionares: hígado, bazo, hueso y ojo, entre otros. Se presenta un caso de enfermedad por arañazo de gato atípica en un paciente pediátrico inmunocompetente, en la que se evidenció compromiso meníngeo y ocular, este último como neurorretinitis. Se destaca la importancia de la búsqueda activa de complicaciones oculares en pacientes con compromiso sistémico por Bartonella henselae, que implica un cambio en el tratamiento y pronóstico de la enfermedad


Bartonella henselae is the etiologic agent of cat scratch disease. It typically presents as a self-limited regional lymphadenopathy and less frequently with systemic involvement and extranodal manifestations: liver, spleen, bone, eye, among others. A case of atypical cat scratch disease is presented in an immunocompetent pediatric patient, in which meningeal and ocular involvement was evidenced, the latter manifested as neuroretinitis. The importance of the active search for ocular complications in patients with systemic involvement by Bartonella henselae is highlighted, implying a change in the treatment and prognosis of the disease

Résumé

La neurorretinitis como manifestación de la enfermedad por arañazo de gato se presenta en el 1-2 % de los pacientes con afecciones oculares porBartonella henselae. Las manifestaciones oculares suelen suceder a las sistémicas, aunque pueden aparecer en ausencia de estas. La presencia de exudado macular en forma de estrella es característico y sugestivo de dicha infección. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 14 años de edad, previamente sano, con disminución de la agudeza visual de 15 días de evolución, que ingresó por sospecha de neuritis óptica izquierda con edema de papila. El seguimiento oftalmológico reveló la aparición de la lesión característica en "estrella macular" que permitió arribar al diagnóstico de infección por B. henselae, confirmándose luego con serología positiva


Neurorretinitis as a manifestation of cat scratch disease occurs in 1-2 % of patients with Bartonella Henselae eye disease. Ocular manifestations tend to follow systemic ones, although they can appear in their absence. The presence of star-shaped macular exudate is characteristic and suggestive of this infection. We report a case of a 14-year-old healthy boy, with 15 days of decreased visual acuity, who was admitted for suspected left optic neuritis with papilledema. Ophthalmological examination revealed the characteristic "macular star" that led to the diagnosis of infection by Bartonella Henselae, later confirmed by positive serology.

Résumé

Resumen Bartonella henselae es el agente etiológico de la enfermedad por arañazo de gato (EAG), infección endémica en Chile. Típicamente se presenta como una linfadenopatía regional autolimitada y menos frecuentemente con compromiso sistémico y manifestaciones extraganglionares: en hígado, bazo, hueso, ojo, entre otros. Se presentan tres casos de infección atípica por Bartonella henselae en las que se evidenció compromiso ocular, manifestado como una neurorretinitis. Esta revisión destaca la importancia de la búsqueda activa de complicaciones oculares en pacientes con compromiso sistémico por Bartonella henselae, implicando un cambio en el tratamiento y pronóstico de la enfermedad.


Abstract Bartonella henselae is cat scratch disease's etiological agent, which is considered an endemic infection in Chile. It typically presents as a self-limited regional lymphadenopathy and less frequently with systemic involvement and extranodal or atypical manifestations: hepatosplenic, ocular or musculoskeletal involvement, among others. We present three cases of atypical cat scratch disease with ocular compromise, as neurorretinitis. This review highlights the importance of the active search for ocular complications in patients with disseminated cat scratch disease, leading to possible change in treatment and prognosis of the disease.

Résumé

La endocarditis bacteriana con hemocultivo negativo constituye un dilema diagnóstico. Tanto Bartonella como Coxiella pueden causarla, con presentaciones clínicas similares que pueden simular una vasculitis sistémica no infecciosa. Sin embargo, difieren en el tipo y la duración del tratamiento, por lo que es fundamental identificar el agente etiológico. Presentamos un caso de endocarditis por Bartonella henselae asociada a glomerulonefritis y neurorretinitis, con hemocultivo negativo, anticuerpos anticitoplasma de neutrófilos y antiproteinasa 3 positivos, y serología positiva para Bartonella con reacción cruzada para Coxiella burnetti. El diagnóstico etiológico fue confirmado a posteriori mediante amplificación y secuenciación parcial del gen ribC a partir de tejido de la válvula cardíaca. El paciente recibió tratamiento antibiótico e inmunosupresor seguido de recambio valvular aórtico y presentó evolución favorable.


Blood-culture negative endocarditis is a diagnostic challenge. Both Bartonella and Coxiella can cause it with similar clinical presentations mimicking a systemic vasculitis. The identification of the etiologic agent is essential because they differ in treatment type and duration. We present a case of blood-culture negative endocarditis caused by Bartonella henselae, associated with glomerulonephritis and neuroretinitis, with negative blood culture, positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic and antiproteinase 3 antibodies. The serology was positive for Bartonella with cross-reactivity to Coxiella burnetti. The etiological diagnosis was achieved by polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of a ribC gene fragment. The patient received antibiotic and immunosuppressive treatment followed by replacement of the aortic valve with favorable medium-term evolution.

Résumé

INTRODUCCIÓN: La retinitis causada por citomegalovirus (CMV) es una infección ocular viral oportunista, que afecta con mayor frecuencia a personas con Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Humana ­ Síndrome de inmunodeficiencia Adquirida (VIH-SIDA). El VIH infecta a las células que expresan CD4* como: linfocitos T, monocitos, macrófagos, células dendríticas; como consecuencia se inicia una inmunosupresión que incrementa la susceptibilidad del huésped a infecciones oportunistas. La retinitis por CMV permanece como la causa más frecuente de infección oportunista en pacientes con SIDA; pero solamente el 8 % de los pacientes con SIDA tiende a presentar retinitis por CMV como manifestación inicial. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente masculino de 26 años, en estudio por fiebre de origen desconocido, fue diagnosticado de infección por VIH. Se realizaron exámenes de extensión y se detectó PCR positivo para CMV. En examen oftalmológico se evidenció en ojo derecho un pequeño exudado perimacular en arcada vascular superior, al momento del hallazgo paciente no presentaba ninguna sintomatología. EVOLUCIÓN: Tras diagnóstico de VIH y retinitis por CMV, se inició tratamiento con TARGA y Valganciclovir. Paciente presentó evolución satisfactoria evidenciándose desaparición del exudado perimacular en controles oftalmológicos periódicos. CONCLUSION: La Retinitis por CMV es frecuente en pacientes con VIH/SIDA. Muchas veces el paciente es asintomático, o no se le ha realizado el diagnóstico oportuno de infección por VIH, por lo que es importante implementar y protocolizar medidas para detección y tratamiento oportuno de este tipo de patologías asociadas, con el fin de la mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.(au)


BACKGROUND: CMV retinitis is a viral opportunistic ocular infection that affects more frequently HIV positive- AIDS patients. HIV virus infects cells that express CD4, like: lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells; as a consequence the patient gets immunosuppressed, increasing its susceptibility to opportunist infections. CMV retinitis is the most frequent cause of opportunist infections in AIDS patients; but only 8% of the patients present with CMV retinitis a an initial sign. CASE REPORT: 26 year old male patient, being evaluated for fever of unknown origin, was diagnosed of HIV infection. Complementary tests showed CMV positive PCR test. At the ophthalmological examination a perimacular exudate was evident on the right eye, the patient was asymptomatic at the moment of the diagnosis. EVOLUTION: After being diagnosed of HIV infection and CMV retinitis, patient started taking HAART and Valganciclovir. The ourtcome was good, perimacular exudate disappeared in posterior follow up. CONCLUSIONS: CMV retinitis is frequent in HIV-AIDS patients. Sometimes the patients are asymptomatic, or missing diagnosis of HIV, therefore it is important to standarize early detection and treatment measures, to improve life quality for this patients.(au)

Résumé

Abstract The differential diagnosis of optic neuritis is broad and varied. We report the case of a 24-year-old Brazilian man who presented with five-week history of fever, malaise, myalgia, severe fatigue, tender right preauricular lymphadenopathy, and acute vision blurring associated with right optic disc swelling and exudates in a macular star pattern. His illness developed soon after an infestation of fleas broke out among his cats. Diagnosis of ocular bartonellosis was confirmed by serological and molecular analyses targeting amplification of Bartonella spp. htrA gene. Signs and symptoms only improved after initiation of antimicrobial therapy.

Résumé

PURPOSE: To report a case of retinal toxicity after an intravitreal ganciclovir injection to treat acute retinal necrosis in an eye filled with silicone oil.CASE SUMMARY: A 56-year-old male presented with ocular pain and visual loss in his right eye. His best-corrected visual acuity was 20/25, inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber, multiple retinitis lesions and retinal vessel occlusions in the peripheral retina and vitreous opacity were showed. Acute retinal necrosis was suspected, anterior chamber polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was done. Aciclovir 2,400 mg/day intravenously and ganciclovir 2.0 mg were administered by intravitreal injection. After 4 days, retinitis was worsened and PCR test was positive for varicella zoster virus. Ganciclovir intravitreal injections were increased twice a week. After 16 days, retinal detachment occurred, so scleral encircling, vitrectomy, laser photocoagulation, and silicone oil tamponade were conducted. Ganciclovir 1.0 mg was injected at the end of surgery. The patient's visual acuity decreased to hand motion, and multiple crystal deposits with multiple retinal hemorrhages were observed in the right eye the next day. Visual acuity did not recover and optical coherent tomography showed that the macula was thinned.CONCLUSIONS: Visual loss seemed to be related with the retinal toxicity of ganciclovir. The increased local concentration due to the silicone oil tamponade is thought to have caused the toxicity.

Résumé

La retinitis por CMV es la infección ocular oportunista más frecuente en los pacientes con SIDA. La necrosis retiniana aguda suele corresponder a infecciones por VVZ o VHS, y sólo en un pequeño porcentaje de casos es secundaria a infección por CMV. El tratamiento (dosis de mantenimiento) con valganciclovir no descarta completamente la posibilidad de desarrollo de enfermedad por CMV, además que se asocia a otras infecciones oportunistas, en este caso asociado a herpes zoster y molusco contagioso. Presentamos un Caso Clínico de un paciente VIH positivo, sin tratamiento, con necrosis retiniana aguda por CMV del ojo izquierdo como forma inicial de presentación de la etapa de SIDA y retinitis por CMV de su ojo derecho varios meses después, a pesar de estar en tratamiento con valganciclovir a dosis de mantenimiento.(AU)


The CMV retinitis is the most frequent opportunistic eye infection in AIDS patients. Acute retinal necrosis usually corresponds to VZV or HSV infections, and only in a small cases is it secondary to CMV infection. The treatment (maintenance dose) with valganciclovir does not completely rule out the possibility of developing CMV disease, in addition to being associated with other opportunistic infections, in this case associated with herpes zoster and molluscum contagiosum. We present a Clinical Case of an HIV positive patient, without treatment, with acute retinal necrosis due to CMV of the left eye as an initial form of the presentation of the AIDS stage and CMV retinitis of his right eye several months later, despite being treated with valganciclovir at maintenance dose.(AU)

Résumé

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and types of optic nerve involvement in patients with ocular toxoplasmosis. Methods: For this retrospective cross-sectional study, we examined all patients with active ocular toxoplasmosis referred to our Uveitis Section during the last 12 years, and we included patients with optic nerve involvement in the study. The primary outcome was the prevalence of optic nerve involvement, and secondary outcomes included the types of optic nerve involvement and the final best-corrected visual acuity after treatment. Results: The prevalence of optic nerve involvement was 14.4%, with the leading cause being the activation of a juxtapapillary lesion (70.5%). We found papillitis in two eyes and neuroretinitis in two eyes (11.7% for each). We only detected one optic nerve involvement secondary to a distant active lesion (5.8%). Sixteen patients (94.1%) had unilateral ocular toxoplasmosis. The overall final best-corrected visual acuity after treatment was 10/10 (LogMAR = 0.0) excluding the three patients with a juxtapapillary scar involving the macula. Conclusions: Optic nerve involvement was common in patients with ocular toxoplasmosis. The main type of optic nerve involvement was caused by activation of an old juxtapapillary lesion. Treatment was quickly effective, but the best-corrected visual acuity was dependent on the presence of a scar in the papillomacular bundle.


RESUMO Objetivos: Avaliar a prevalência, características clínicas e tipos de acometimento do nervo óptico em pacientes com toxoplasmose ocular. Métodos: Para este estudo retrospectivo transversal, examinamos todos os pacientes com toxoplasmose ocular ativa encaminhados ao nosso Setor de Uveíte nos últimos 12 anos, e incluímos pacientes com comprometimento do nervo óptico no estudo. O resultado primário foi a prevalência do envolvimento do nervo óptico, e os resultados secundários incluíram os tipos de envolvimento do nervo óptico e a acuidade visual final melhor corrigida após o tratamento. Resultados: A prevalência de acometimento do nervo óptico foi 14,4%, sendo a principal causa a ativação de uma lesão justapapilar (70,5%). Encontramos papilite em dois olhos e neuroretinite em dois olhos (11,7% para cada um). Apenas detectamos um comprometimento do nervo óptico secundário a uma lesão ativa distante (5,8%). Dezesseis pacientes (94,1%) apresentavam toxoplasmose ocular unilateral. A acuidade visual final com melhor correção após o tratamento foi 10/10 (LogMAR= 0,0) excluindo os três pacientes com uma cicatriz justapapilar envolvendo a mácula. Conclusões: O comprometimento do nervo óptico foi comum em pacientes com toxoplasmose ocular. O principal tipo de comprometimento do nervo óptico foi causado pela ativação de uma lesão justapapilar antiga. O tratamento foi rapidamente eficaz, mas a acuidade visual final com melhor correção foi dependente da presença de uma cicatriz no feixe papilomacular.

Résumé

PURPOSE: This study sought to describe the different clinical features and presentations of primary ocular toxoplasmosis in a setting not demonstrating an outbreak of disease.METHODS: This was a retrospective review of patients presenting to uveitis management services in Auckland and Hamilton, New Zealand between 2003 to 2018 with uveitis and positive toxoplasmosis immunoglobulin M serology.RESULTS: We identified 16 patients with primary acquired toxoplasmosis infection and ocular involvement. The mean age was 53 years. Systemic symptoms were reported in 56% (9 / 16). Visual acuity was reduced to 20 / 30 or less in 50% of patients (8 / 16). A single focus of retinitis without a pigmented scar was the salient clinical feature in 69% (11 / 16). Optic nerve inflammation was the sole clinical finding in 19% (3 / 16). Bilateral arterial vasculitis was the sole clinical finding in 13% (2 / 16). A delay in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis of more than two weeks occurred in 38% (6 / 16) due to an initial alternative diagnosis. Antibiotic therapy was prescribed in all cases. Vision was maintained or improved in 69% (11 / 16) at the most recent follow-up visit (15 months to 10 years). Relapse occurred in 69% (11 / 16), typically within four years from the initial presentation.CONCLUSIONS: Primary ocular toxoplasmosis presenting in adulthood is a relatively uncommon cause of posterior uveitis in New Zealand. This condition should be considered in any patient presenting with retinitis or optic nerve inflammation without a retinochoroidal scar. This disease tends to relapse; thus, close follow-up is required.

Résumé

PURPOSE: To report a case of fulminant toxoplasmic chorioretinitis following intravitreal dexamethasone implantation monotherapy in a stabilized toxoplasmic chorioretinitis patient with initial treatment. CASE SUMMARY: A 60-year-old healthy female presented with decreased visual acuity in the left eye. On fundus examination, focal chorioretinitis and yellow-white infiltration were observed. Laboratory work-up, including blood chemistry, complete blood count, and serum serology, was negative; however, toxoplasmic chorioretinitis could not be ruled out. The primary lesion improved with antibiotics and prednisolone treatment. However, the patient did not come in for her follow-up visit, as she had already received an intravitreal dexamethasone implant for recurrent vitreous inflammation elsewhere. On her return, she presented with necrotic retinitis with extensive infiltration. She underwent diagnostic vitrectomy and implant removal. A diagnosis of toxoplasma antigen was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction analysis; the lesions stabilized after anti-toxoplasmic therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Intravitreal dexamethasone implant monotherapy with stabilized toxoplasmic chorioretinitis without systemic antibiotics can lead to fulminant toxoplasmic chorioretinitis and should be used with caution.

Résumé

A 14 year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on maintenance chemotherapy presented with vision-threatening cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. Treatment with intavitreal ganciclovir injection (2 mg/0.1 mL) followed by oral ganciclovir resulted in successful resolution of CMV retinitis. Another 13 year-old boy with ALL on maintenance chemotherapy presented with prolonged fever with no response to antibiotics administration. CMV and real-time PCR revealed positive result and a titer of 2,618,700 copies/mL, respectively. Ganciclovir was used for more than the approved duration of treatment, but viral titer frequently recurred with elevated liver enzymes and fever. In these 2 cases of CMV infection, a high index of suspicion and prompt management is important in children receiving ALL chemotherapy.

Résumé

PURPOSE: To report the long-term outcome after surgical repair of a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). CASE SUMMARY: A 55-year-old male who had been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa in both eyes 5 years earlier presented with decreased visual acuity in his left eye over the last 6 months. On examination, his Snellen best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.0 in the right eye and 0.3 in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination of the anterior segment was remarkable only for posterior chamber intraocular lenses in each eye. Fundus examination demonstrated extensive bony spicule-like pigmentation in the mid-peripheral region in both eyes and a FTMH with approximately one-third disc diameter in the left eye. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings confirmed a FTMH with a surrounding cuff of intraretinal fluid and vitreomacular traction in the left eye. The patient underwent 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with indocyanine green-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade. One week postoperatively, an anatomically well-sealed macular hole was confirmed by OCT. At the 3-month postoperative follow-up, the BCVA improved to 0.63 and the hole remained closed until his last follow-up (postoperative 6 years). CONCLUSIONS: Although macular hole is a rare occurrence in RP patients, it should be considered as a cause of significant visual loss in patients with this disorder. Our case suggested that over the long-term, PPV may be tolerable in the management for FTMH in RP.

Résumé

PURPOSE: We report a case of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis following placement of an intravitreal dexamethasone implant in an immunocompetent patient diagnosed with non-infectious uveitis. CASE SUMMARY: A 60-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for recurrent anterior uveitis. Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography showed dense vitritis, but no definite retinal infiltration. After laboratory examinations, the patient was diagnosed with non-infectious panuveitis. Uveitis was much improved after the patient started taking oral steroid medication. However, the patient complained of systemic side effects from the oral steroids. Medication was stopped, and an intravitreal dexamethasone implant was fitted to address worsening inflammation. Two months later, perivascular retinal infiltration developed and vitritis recurred. Viral retinitis was suspected, and the patient underwent diagnostic vitrectomy adjunctive with intravitreal ganciclovir injection. Polymerase chain reaction of vitreous fluid confirmed the diagnosis of CMV retinitis. The patient has remained inflammation-free for more than 20 months after vitrectomy, single ganciclovir injection, and 2 months of oral valganciclovir medication. CONCLUSIONS: This is a case report of CMV retinitis following placement of an intravitreal dexamethasone implant in an immunocompetent patient without any risk factors or previous history of immunosuppression. Potential risk factors for CMV retinitis should be evaluated and careful follow-up should be performed when intravitreal dexamethasone injections are unavoidable for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis.

Résumé

@#Delusional disorder is an illness presenting with ideas of false beliefs based on incorrect inference about external reality that persist despite the evidence to the contrary and these beliefs are not ordinarily accepted by other members of the person's culture or subculture1 • 2 • The patient is a 25-year old, male, single, former massage therapist, 1st in a brood of 3 children from a province in Visayas, Philippines, brought to the clinic due to talking incoherently with inconsistent responses. This presented after competing in Palarong Pambansa for the disabled. He participated in the blind category since he was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the retina's ability to respond to light. This inherited disease causes a slow loss of vision, beginning with decreased night vision and loss of peripheral (side) vision, and eventually blindness3 • He won many competitions, after which started hearing voices accusing him of cheating. This persisted for months which lead him to develop incoherent responses when talked to, which prompted his relatives to bring him for psychiatric consult. This is an interesting case of patient with a psychiatric condition who also presented with a degenerative disease.

Résumé

El virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH)/ síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA), afecta a millones de personas alre-dedor del mundo. En Latinoamérica y el Caribe, casi 1.9 millones de personas viven con VIH/SIDA. Se caracteriza por ser una enfermedad multisistémica en donde las enfermedades oftalmológicas se presentan en un 70% a 80% de los pacientes infecta-dos. En estos pacientes las infecciones oportunistas son la principal causa de enfer-medad ocular sin embargo, es también causa de anomalías visuales, como la ano-malía de Peter que solo se presenta 1 en un millón de personas y es la causa de más del 40% de las opacidades corneales congéni-tas. Se presenta caso de femenina de 21 años de edad, procedente de San Pedro Sula, con antecedente de virus de inmuno-deficiencia adquirida en estadio B2, por transmisión vertical, en tratamiento con anti-rretrovirales, sin antecedentes maternos infecciosos sumados al VIH. Con historia de visión borrosa, lejana y cercana en ambos ojos con mayor severidad en ojo derecho. Además, refiere cefalea, frontal, pulsátil, de predominio vespertino que se irradia hacia parietal y occipital. Al exámen físico se encuentra agudeza visual disminuida, presión intraocular en límite superior, leuco-mas corneales y gonioscopía alterada en ambos ojos. Actualmente ambos ojos esta-bles y agudeza visual mejora con gradua-ción lo que es indicativo de un pronóstico favorable...(AU)
