Bilateral eyelid edema, chemosis, conjunctival injection and hemorrhages, shallowing of the anterior chamber with transitory myopia, and acute glaucoma were observed in three patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (nephropathia epidemica). One patient had anterior uveitis with posterior

From September to December of 1988, 24 cases of clinical diagnosed dengue fever accompanied by visual disturbances were studied. A detailed history and a detailed ocular examination including visual acuity, slit lamp examination, fundus examination through dilated pupil and fluorescein angiography

A 21-year-old women developed severe bilateral papilledema during an acute febrile disease. Her optic disk margins were blurred and the disks were elevated up to 5 diopters. Splinter hemorrhages, cotton-wool exudates, cytoid bodies, and sheathing of veins were also present. The pyrexia was caused by

Previous descriptions of paratyphoid fever (PTF) are of limited value to the clinician who has had no experience with Salmonella enteric fevers. Sixty-two cases of PTF occurred in a healthy, homogeneous population. Findings supported by the literature included a seasonal incidence, initially seen

Post fever retinitis (PFR), characterized by multiple cotton wool spot like lesions in the posterior pole, is commonly reported following viral and bacterial infections. Retinal perfusion defects have been documented with the help of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in cases of PFR.

The prominent ophthalmoscopic features in a 9-year-old white girl with Rocky Mountain spotted fever consisted of papilledema, cotton-wool spots, and dilated, tortuous retinal veins.

BACKGROUND Owing to the high risk of abscess drainage by craniotomy, imaging-guided stereotactic aspiration is considered an ideal choice in the management of brain abscesses. Interventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represents a valuable technique for the treatment of brain abscess as a

Eosinophilic meningitis or meningoencephalitis is a disease commonly seen in Taiwan, especially in children during the summer rainy season. Most of the cases reported in other countries were adults and their clinical manifestations were different from children. Studies on special clinical
