Hashimoto Y, Saito W, Kanaizumi S, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective observational case series to assess the clinical features of patients with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR), according to the presence or absence of anti-retinal antibodies (ARAs) that are frequently detected in autoimmune retinopathy. The sample consisted of 33 patients with acute-stage AZOOR who had been followed up for more than 6 months after the initial visit. In 42% of patients with AZOOR, at least one serum ARA was detected. The results indicate that the presence of ARAs in patients with AZOOR had no impact on visual outcomes or outer retinal morphology.
