Abstract

Several viral infections may involve the retina and choroid. These viruses include herpesviruses, rubella, rubeola, influenza, Epstein-Barr virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and West Nile virus. The predominant causes of viral retinitis and choroiditis are viruses of the Herpesviridae family. Classic findings of infection include vitritis, periarteritis, necrotizing retinitis, and optic neuropathy.
