To report of a case of acute retinal necrosis (ARN), successfully treated with intravitreal foscarnet.
Case report.
A 40-year-old man diagnosed with varicella zoster virus (VZV)-induced ARN failed standard acyclovir treatment. He was treated subsequently with intravenous foscarnet, but developed acute renal failure after 1 day of treatment. All systemic anti-viral agents were discontinued, and intravitreal foscarnet was administered weekly. After 5 injections, the retinitis was dramatically improved.
Intravitreal foscarnet was efficacious in the treatment of acyclovir-resistant ARN caused by VZV. It may be used as the sole treatment in patients with intolerance to systemic administration.
报告一例成功用玻璃体内膦甲酸治疗的急性视网膜坏死(ARN)。
病例报告。
一名 40 岁男性,诊断为水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV)诱导的 ARN,阿昔洛韦标准治疗失败。随后他接受了更昔洛韦静脉治疗,但在治疗 1 天后发生急性肾衰竭。所有全身抗病毒药物均被停用,每周行玻璃体内膦甲酸注射。5 次注射后,视网膜炎显著改善。
玻璃体内膦甲酸对 VZV 引起的阿昔洛韦耐药性 ARN 治疗有效。对于不能耐受全身给药的患者,它可以作为唯一的治疗方法。
