Abstract
We report two patients who developed varicella zoster virus (VZV) ophthalmicus complicated by ipsilateral keratouveitis, and within 4 weeks developed acute retinal necrosis (ARN) in the contralateral eye. The ipsilateral retina was spared in each case. One patient had systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the other Hodgkin's disease. Both patients were in remission at the time of presentation.Entities:
