Ocular findings associated with encephalomyelitis caused by Herpesvirus simiae. 1977

A M Roth, and T W Purcell

A 29-year-old monkey handler developed acute encephalomyelitis with serological evidence of Herpesvirus simiae infection. He had sudden unilateral loss of vision on the 32nd day of illness caused by vitreous hemorrhage. This cleared gradually, revealing chorioretinal scarring and a gliovascular vitreous band which eventually caused local tractional retinal detachment.
