چکیده
The authors report an uncommon case of unilateral rubella retinopathy in an adult patient, described for the first time in medical literature. A 28-year-old healthy white man acquired a case of vasculitis and retinitis on his right eye with sudden vision loss, preceded by an acute viral disease (best correct visual acuity was 20/200). Serology examinations on several viral diseases reveled positive signs to rubella. The treatment was based on corticoids therapy due to macular commitment with final visual acuity of 20/60. Serology concluded rubella etiology, with positive levels in the acute initial stage of viral infection, even during viral retinopathy.
