Antihelminthic drugs in diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis

American Journal of Ophthalmology

Abstract

To evaluate the efficacy of ivermectin and thiabendazole in confirmed cases of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis. Two patients with diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis were treated with anthelminthic drugs. The first patient was treated with ivermectin and the second, with thiabendazole. The worms were still mobile after treatment with ivermectin or thiabendazole. With the application of photocoagulation, the organisms were destroyed, and the patients' vision improved. In these two patients, ivermectin and thiabendazole were not effective in treating confirmed diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis.
