ABSTRACT
A 43-year-old woman presented bilateral anterior granulomatous uveitis associated with bilateral disc edema and bilateral peripheral retinochoroidal lesions. Intravenous corticosteroids after negative investigations for infectious causes did not prevent spreading of the lesions and retinal atrophy. A diagnostic vitrectomy with vitreous analysis, including pan-genomic, next-generation sequencing showed a positive result for rhinovirus HRV B91, and the cytological analysis was suggestive of infection. Intravenous immunoglobulins associated with pegylated interferon-alpha strongly slowed the progression of the lesions and led to scarred and atrophic aspect in both eyes after 6 months.
