Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • Research in the United Kingdom resulted in an estimated incidence of approximately 6.3 per 100,000 individuals.[1]
    • There is evidence that this incidence is underestimated due to biases in case adjudication and under-reporting of data.[2]
  • Worldwide, the increase of immunocompromised and aged populations in most countries evidences an increase in Acute retinal necrosis.

Age

  • Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) developed from Herpes simplex virus 1 and Varicella-zoster virus is most common among patients older than 50 years.[3]
  • Herpes simplex virus (HSV) 2 infection is more common among children and adolescents; the incidence of HSV-2 caused ARN is highest in children and young adults between age 9 and 22 years.

Gender

  • There is no gender predisposition to Acute retinal necrosis.

Race

  • There is no racial predisposition to Acute retinal necrosis.
