Abstract

Purpose: To present 7 cases of West Nile virus (WNV)-related chorioretinitis in Arizona. Methods: Retina clinic charts with the terms "chorioretinitis" and "West Nile" were selected from April 1, 2012, to February 1, 2023. Results: Seven patients with initial visits between August 2019 and February 2023 were included. The majority of WNV chorioretinitis cases were seen in the last 4 years of the selected dates. Only 1 patient presented before this time but was excluded for inadequate baseline testing. All 7 patients had hospitalization for neuroinvasive disease before clinical presentation. All patients achieved a final visual acuity of 20/25 to 20/70. Conclusions: In the last 4 years of the study period, an uptrend in WNV chorioretinitis was found in our retina clinics in Arizona, reflecting the overall rise in WNV outbreaks across the state. As WNV continues to rise, the eye specialist should have high suspicion for WNV ocular disease, even in states where WNV had been an uncommon entity.

沙漠中新出现的疾病：西尼罗河病毒脉络膜视网膜炎在亚利桑那州的兴起。

目的：介绍亚利桑那州 7 例与西尼罗河病毒 (WNV) 相关的脉络膜视网膜炎病例。方法：在亚利桑那州的视网膜门诊病历上标注 "脉络膜视网膜炎 "和 "WNV"：选取 2012 年 4 月 1 日至 2023 年 2 月 1 日期间视网膜诊所的病历，其中包含 "脉络膜视网膜炎 "和 "西尼罗河病毒"。结果纳入了 2019 年 8 月至 2023 年 2 月期间首次就诊的七名患者。大多数 WNV 脉络膜视网膜炎病例都是在所选日期的最后 4 年就诊的。只有一名患者在此之前就诊，但因基线检测不充分而被排除在外。所有 7 名患者在临床表现前都曾因神经侵入性疾病住院治疗。所有患者的最终视力均在 20/25 至 20/70 之间。研究结论在过去 4 年的研究期间，亚利桑那州视网膜诊所发现 WNV 脉络膜视网膜炎呈上升趋势，这反映了亚利桑那州 WNV 爆发的整体上升趋势。随着 WNV 的持续上升，眼科专家应高度怀疑 WNV 眼部疾病，即使在 WNV 以前并不常见的州也是如此。
