Abstract
Interferon (INF) b-1a is a widely used medication, administered as first-line treatment in adult and pediatric patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Common adverse reactions include flu-like symptoms, skin changes, allergic reactions and depression.
Interferon-induced retinopathy commonly arises in HCV patients treated with INFa, but has rarely been associated with IFNb administration in adults.
We present a 14-year-old female, newly diagnosed with MS, that presented with interferon-induced retinopathy, five months after IFNb-1a initiation. The medication was discontinued with complete recovery.
To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of IFNb-induced retinopathy in a pediatric patient.
