Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy associated with an adenovirus type 5 infection

Abstract

A 19-year-old black man with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy had concurrent positive viral cultures and rising antibodies to adenovirus type 5. This finding, considered together with earlier reports of viral-like syndromes accompanying the disease, supports the implication of a respiratory virus as a possible etiologic factor.
