Abstract

Dengue fever is a flavivirus infection transmitted through infected mosquitoes, and is endemic in Southeast Asia, Central and South America, the Pacific, Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean region. A 41-year-old male patient had visual impairment after travelling to Thailand, which is one of the endemic areas. Cotton wool spots were observed on fundus examination. Fundus fluorescein angiography showed minimal vascular leakage from areas near the cotton wool spots and dot hemorrhages in the macula. Dengue fever should be considered in patients with visual complaints who traveled to endemic areas of dngue fever.

Özet

Dang ateşi sivrisinekler aracılığı ile bulaşan bir flavivirus enfeksiyonudur ve Güney Asya, Orta ve Güney Amerika, Pasifik, Afrika ve Doğu Akdeniz ülkelerinde endemiktir. Kırk bir yaşındaki erkek hastanın endemik bölgeler arasında yer alan Tayland'a yaptığı ziyaret sonrası görme şikayetleri gelişmiştir. Fundus muayenesinde göz dibinde yumuşak eksüdalar tespit edilmiştir. Fundus floresein anjiyografide sol makülada yumuşak eksüda sahasına yakın minimal vaskülitik sızıntı ve noktasal hemorajiler tespit edilmiştir. Dang ateşi hastalığının endemik olduğu bölgelere seyahat eden hastalarda gelişen görme şikayetleri varlığında dang ateşi hastalığı olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
