Birdshot chorioretinopathy in a South Asian patient
To describe the clinical features of a South Asian patient with HLA-A29-positive birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR). A 54-year-old South Asian woman presented with blurred vision and floaters. The ophthalmic examination showed bilateral vitritis and retinal vasculitis. Fluorescein angiography revealed a bilateral disc and retinovascular leakage along the arcades. On indocyanine green angiography, multiple hypo-fluorescent lesions were found. Work-up revealed positive HLA-A29. BSCR is primarily seen in patients of European descent, but it can occur in other ancestries. We present an HLA-A29-positive BSCR South Asian patient to highlight that this disease can be seen in patients of South Asian descent.
