Abstract

Background

We report a case of choroiditis during dengue fever.

Results

A 35-year-old female presented with blurring of vision during dengue fever. Her fundus examination revealed yellow deep choroidal lesions at right macula, multiple small, yellowish subretinal macular dots along papillomacular bundle, and hyperemic disc. There was a small retinal hemorrhage at temporal margin of disc. The left eye had similar small discrete lesion superonasal and inferotemporal to macula.

Conclusions

We report a hitherto undescribed case of choroiditis in a dengue patient.
