Viral Loads in Ocular Fluids of Acute Retinal Necrosis Eyes Infected by Varicella-Zoster Virus Treated with Intravenous Acyclovir Treatment.

Abstract：

:Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a rare viral endophthalmitis, and human herpesvirus is the principal pathogen. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to avoid visual impairment by ARN, and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is required in advanced cases. In this study, we evaluated the transition of viral load in ocular fluids of ARN eyes with varicella-zoster virus (VZV) after intravenous acyclovir treatment. Fourteen eyes of 13 patients were analyzed retrospectively. All patients received intravenous acyclovir treatment, and eventually, all eyes underwent PPV. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test showed a 100% detection rate in all aqueous humor samples collected before the treatment (Pre-AH), as well as aqueous humor (Post-AH) and vitreous fluid samples (VF), collected during PPV conducted after the treatment. Within eight days or less of acyclovir treatment, viral loads both in AH and VF did not decrease significantly. Furthermore, the viral load of Pre-AH had a strong correlation with that of VH. These data suggest that in ARN eyes with VZV infection, the AH sample for the PCR test was reliable to confirm the pathogen. We propose that short-term treatment of intravenous acyclovir may be insufficient for reducing intraocular viral load, and the Pre-AH sample could be a predictor of viral activity in the eyes after acyclovir treatment.
