Author(s): Justin JY Yamanuha and Mihai MititeluJustin JY Yamanuha and Mihai Mititelu
Purpose: Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a modern functional imaging modality utilized to characterize abnormalities of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). There are no prior studies demonstrating FAF findings in both symptomatic and asymptomatic eyes of patients diagnosed with Bartonella neuroretinitis. Methods: Case report and review of the literature. Patients: Single patient case study. Results: In the symptomatic right eye, (FAF-Heidelberg Retina Angiograph; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) identified abnormality of the RPE which corresponded to pathology seen on fundus photography, fluorescein angiography (FA-Heidelberg Retina Angiograph; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT-Spectralis®, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany)..
