title: A case of vasculitis, retinitis and macular neurosensory detachment presenting post typhoid fever.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Ocular and extraocular immune-mediated phenomena are known to occur following febrile illness. Vasculitis, retinitis and neurosensory detachment are not well-recognized sequelae of typhoid fever.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report a case of vasculitis, retinitis and macular neurosensory detachment presenting post typhoid fever. A 27-year-old female presented with decreased vision in right eye with history of typhoid fever (treated adequately 6 weeks prior). Her best corrected visual acuity in right eye was 20/125, N36. Fundus showed a patch of vasculitis and retinitis superior to the disc associated with macular neurosensory detachment and disc pallor. With oral steroids, the inflammation resolved and visual acuity improved to 20/20 at 6 weeks.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Immune-mediated vasculitis and retinitis following typhoid fever may respond well to systemic steroids.
