Progressive outer retinal necrosis after bone marrow transplantation.

PURPOSE: To describe a case of progressive outer retinal necrosis in a human immunodeficiency virus-negative immunosuppressed patient undergoing treatment for graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplantation.

METHOD: Onset, course, and outcome of the patient's eye disease were analyzed.

RESULTS

Findings and course were typical for the recently described progressive outer retinal necrosis syndrome.

CONCLUSION

Progressive outer retinal necrosis is not limited to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome but may occur in patients immunocompromised because of other conditions.
