| Popis: | We present a case of multifocal central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in a 40-year-old male who presented with gradual loss of vision in both of his eyes during the previous 3 months. The anterior segment examination was normal; the dilated fundus examination revealed severe retinal elevation in the macular area in both eyes. Optical coherence tomography confirmed the presence of subretinal fluid with a central macular thickness of 353 μm OD and 356 μm OS. On the basis of ocular findings, a diagnosis of multifocal CSCR was made. One month later, the patient complained of further vision loss. His erythrocyte sedimentation rate was elevated, and the Mantoux test (22 mm × 22 mm), the QuantiFERON TB gold (5 IU/ml), and the cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin G (2277.92 AU/ml) yielded positive results. A diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection was made. After 2 months of starting antitubercular treatment, the patient’s visual acuity improved. |
