Overview

Preventing the onset of acute retinal necrosis is dependent upon prevention of the causative infection from Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

Primary Prevention

Preventing the onset of acute retinal necrosis is dependent upon prevention of the causative infection from Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and Cytomegalovirus (CMV). Measures to prevent viral infection include the following:[1][2][3]

  • Avoiding oral and genital contact with individuals infected with HSV
  • Avoiding proximity to individuals infected with VZV to avoid contact with pathogenic respiratory droplets and fluid contact
  • Avoiding fluid contact with individuals infected with CMV or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
