Article Synopsis
- HSV and VZV are viruses that can cause lifelong infections and sometimes lead to acute retinal necrosis (ARN), a serious eye disease that threatens vision.
- Researchers studied blood samples from 17 ARN patients and used Whole Exome Sequencing to identify genetic variants that might be linked to the disease.
- They found 50 potential disease-causing genetic variants related to immune response, suggesting that these may lead to poor control of the virus and more severe eye complications, paving the way for better diagnoses and treatments.

However, there are as yet no multicentre studies to assess the variety of bronchial pathology in this patient group. One of the underlying reasons is the lack of a consensus methodology, a prerequisite to jointly document chest CT findings.
