Abstract
This report documents the fundus findings in ten eyes of six patients who had retinal infiltrates develop during or shortly after a viral-like illness. The whitish infiltrates varied in size from 150 to 1700 µm. They occurred in both the posterior pole and periphery, and were located in the superficial as well as deep retinal layers. There was minimal or no vitritis. The infiltrates resolved over a period of months with and without chorioretinal scarring. The optic nerve was involved in two patients, causing a temporary decrease in acuity. However, the only eye left with visual acuity less than 20/40 had a paracentral macular lesion that scarred.
