BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Eales' disease is an idiopathic disease resulting in retinal neovascularization, recurrent haemorrhages, with or without retinal detachment predominantly affecting healthy young males (97.6%) in the Indian subcontinent. Inspite of several studies, the aetiology of Eales' disease is not clear. The isolation of Mycobacterium fortuitum from the aqueous humour of a patient w...

EDITOR,—Eales' disease, first described by Henry Eales in 1880 is a primary retinal perivasculitis that predominantly aVects the peripheral retina of young and otherwise healthy adults in the age group 15–40 years. Of the several aetiologies proposed, most favoured are tuberculosis and hypersensitivity to tuberculoprotein. 1 Since polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers for the insertion ...

BACKGROUND A case of exudative macroaneurysms in unilateral Eales' disease is reported. 'Eales disease' is an idiopathic bilateral occlusive periphlebitis with neovascularisation and mostly presents with vitreous hemorrhage. CASE A 30 year old male presented with diminution of vision in left eye (6/36) for 1 month. Slit Lamp examination of both eyes revealed normal anterior segment. Fundus ex...

Eales disease, first described by Henry in 1880, constitutes an idiopathic occlusive retinal vasculopathy apparently multifactorial, and with a likely immunologic origin, which mainly affects the peripheral retina bilaterally young patients predominantly males. Most cases are asymptomatic early stages of disease however, course floaters blurry vision arise hemorrhages lead to significant visual...

BACKGROUND The high resolution computerized tomography of chest is an important diagnostic imaging tool to identify any pulmonary tubercular lesion. It's role in Eales' disease to identify any possible association with pulomonary tuberculosis has not been studied earlier. So, this study was conducted to assess the role of high resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) chest in identifying tuber...

Eales disease, which is reported mainly in patients from the Indian subcontinent, is characterized by ophthalmic abnormalities that are sometimes followed by neurologic sequelae, and it is associated with previous Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. We describe the first patient, to our knowledge, to receive a diagnosis of active tuberculosis and concurrent, severe neurological Eales disease,...

To report the efficacy of combination therapy (bevacizumab and photocoagulation) in a case of Eales Disease this study has been performed. Bevacizumab (Avastin, 1.25 mg/0.05 ml) was injected intravitreously for the treatment of iris and retinal neovascularization in a 56-year old Hispanic female with photocoagulation treatment to control the recurrence of vitreous haemorrhage. Our results revea...

Abstract Eales’ disease is a retinal vasculitis characterized by inflammation, ischemia, and neovascularization. Exact pathogenesis of this yet to be found out. We present 29-year-old male, diagnosed with in both eyes persistent intraocular inflammation. Enucleation the pthisical right eye was subjected for histopathological examination immunohistochemistry molecular biologic study mycobacteria...
