This paper provides an appreciation of the various forms and consequences of retinal inflammation caused by human herpesviruses. Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella zoster virus, cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus are known to cause retinitis. The prognosis of herpetic retinitis remains poor because it is associated with a high incidence of complications, both during and after the acute disease phase. On diagnosis of retinal necrosis, antiviral treatment must be started promptly to limit disease progression; following this, prophylactic maintenance therapy may be required.
本文对人类疱疹病毒引起的视网膜炎症的各种形式和后果进行了评估。已知1型和2型单纯疱疹病毒、水痘带状疱疹病毒、巨细胞病毒和爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒可引起视网膜炎。疱疹性视网膜炎的预后仍然很差，因为在急性疾病期及之后，它都与高并发症发生率相关。一旦诊断为视网膜坏死，必须立即开始抗病毒治疗以限制疾病进展；在此之后，可能需要预防性维持治疗。
