Abstract
We report a case of Acute Retinal Necrosis presenting with acute glaucoma preceding inflammatory signs by several days. High-throughput sequencing on aqueous humor revealed a low-level diversity in the viral genome comparable to diversity seen in cutaneous vesicles in contrast to high diversity in encephalitis.Funding Information
