Overview
The primary risk factors for acute retinal necrosis include immunocompromised status and immunosuppression from disease and prolonged corticosteroid use. Genetic predisposition for certain Caucasian and Japanese populations can increase one's odds of developing acute retinal necrosis.
Risk Factors
Risk factors for the development of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) include:[1]
- For Caucasian populations: possessing the HLA-DQw7, HLA-Bw62, and HLA-DR4 antigens[2]
- For Japanese populations: possessing the HLA-Aw33, HLA-B44, and HLA-DRw6 antigens[3]
- Experiencing encephalitis from herpes simplex virus[4]
- Immunocompromised status from prior or concurrent disease[5]
- Immunosuppresion from extended corticosteroid therapy[6]
