title: Progressive outer retinal necrosis after bone marrow transplantation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of progressive outer retinal necrosis in a human immunodeficiency virus-negative immunosuppressed patient undergoing treatment for graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplantation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Onset, course, and outcome of the patient's eye disease were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Findings and course were typical for the recently described progressive outer retinal necrosis syndrome.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Progressive outer retinal necrosis is not limited to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome but may occur in patients immunocompromised because of other conditions.
