摘要

Background

H1N1 influenza and Mycoplasma are common causes of pneumonia, but ocular symptoms after infection are rare. We report a case of bilateral decreased vision, exudative retinal detachment and high intraocular pressure secondary to H1N1 influenza and mycoplasma infection.

Case presentation

A 7-year-old male presented with decreased vision in his right eye and was found to have exudative retinal detachment and high intraocular pressure secondary to combined infection of H1N1 influenza and mycoplasma. The boy was previously diagnosed with X-linked congenital retinoschisis (XLRS) at age 3. After anti-viral and anti-mycoplasma treatments, the exudative retinal detachment resolved, and the intraocular pressure was under control.

Conclusions

This case highlights the possibility of exudative retinal detachment secondary to H1N1 influenza and mycoplasma, especially in patients with short axial length.
