[Diagnosis and treatment of macular lesions in multifocal chorioiditis (presumed histoplasmosis) (author's transl)].

The authors describe the clinical picture of "presumed histoplasmosis" with the typical disciform mascular lesion which is found in a increasing number of Dutch patients. Although systemic histoplasmosis is not endemic in the Netherlands, the authors feel they are dealing with the same entity. The therapy is elucidated, especially (Argon laser) photocoagulation of favourably situated subretinal neovascularisations. The importance of adequate coagulation technique and frequent (fluographic) follow-up studies in view of possible complications is stressed.
