Overview

The estimated incidence of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is approximately 6.3 per 100,000 individuals. ARN that has developed from Herpes simplex virus 1 or Varicella-zoster virus is most common among patients older than 50 years, while the incidence of HSV-2 caused ARN is highest in children and young adults between age 9 and 22 years. There is no racial or gender predisposition to acute retinal necrosis.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The estimated incidence of ARN is approximately 6.3 per 100,000 individuals.
  • Worldwide, the increase in immunocompromised and aged populations in most countries has been correlated with an increase in the incidence of acute retinal necrosis.[1]
  • There is evidence that this incidence is underestimated due to biases in case adjudication and under-reporting of data.[2][3][4][5][6]

Age

Gender

There is no gender predisposition to acute retinal necrosis.

Race

There is no racial predisposition to acute retinal necrosis.
