Overview
Risk Factors
- Risk factors for the development of Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) include the following:
- For caucasian populations: possessing the HLA-DQw7, HLA-Bw62, and HLA-DR4 antigens are correlated to genetic predisposition to ARN.[1]
- For Japanese populations: possessing the HLA-Aw33, HLA-B44, and HLA-DRw6 antigens are correlated to genetic predisposition to ARN.[2]
- Experiencing encephalitis from herpes simplex virus[3]
- Immunocompromise from prior or concurrent disease.[4]
- Immunosuppresion from extended corticosteroid therapy.[5]
