Eye manifestations of intrauterine infections and their impact on childhood blindness
Surv Ophthalmol.
2008 Mar-Apr.
Abstract
Intrauterine infections are important causes of childhood blindness in both developed and developing countries. Chorioretinal scars are the most characteristic eye manifestation of a congenital or prenatal infection. The various ocular manifestations of congenital infections, summarized by the mnemonic TORCH, and recent additions to the "other" category (lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus and West Nile virus) are discussed.
