Abstract

Post-fever retinitis (PFR) is an infectious or para-infectious uveitic entity which involves various coats of eye and have variable clinical manifestations. PFR has varied etiologies viz bacteria or viruses. We present a series of four cases of PFR with common history of Flu like illness followed by blurring of vision. On examination all four patients had different clinical pictures, patients were investigated thoroughly for etiological agents and were treated with Oral Doxycycline. All had shown excellent visual recovery at the end of the treatment. It is difficult to pin-point the exact etiology of PFR just on the basis of clinical presentation and hence, proper history, serological investigations, polymerase chain reaction, and knowledge of concurrent epidemics in the community may help to identify the etiological organism. For all our cases doxycycline worked as a wonder drug. All four cases had complete resolution of clinical signs and had excellent visual outcome.
