Overview
Acute retinal necrosis is usually caused by reactivation of latent viruses, including Herpes simplex virus 1 & 2, Varicella-zoster virus, cytomegalovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus.
Causes
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is usually caused by the reactivation of the following pathogenic viruses in the Herpesviridae family:[1]
- Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1)
- Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2)
- Varicella-zoster virus (VZV)
- Less commonly, ARN can be caused by Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus.[2]
- VZV and HSV-1 are usually the causes of ARN in individuals older than 25 years.
- The majority of the ARN cases for individuals older than 50 years are caused by VZV and HSV-1.[3]
HSV-2 is usually the cause of ARN in individuals younger than 25 years.
