[Multifocal placoid epitheliopathy and anti-hepatitis B vaccination].
The appearance of ocular pathological outcomes following an hepatitis B vaccination is uncommon. Among them, acute multiple posterior placoid pigment epitheliopathy has been noticed after injections of Engerix B recombinant vaccine. We describe the case of an 11-year-old child who presented this affection following a Genhevac B recombinant vaccine injection.
