Fundus findings in a 47-year-old woman with a Loa loa microfilarial load of 88180 mf/mL, a negative skin snip test, and no vascular risk factors.
Right eye is shown in the left column and left eye in the right column. Color fundus photographs (A, B), green light photographs (C, D), and late-phase fluorescein angiogram (E, F) show large macular chorioretinal scar with central presumed subfoveolar fibrosis (red stars), concentric areas of abnormal retinal pigment epithelium in the posterior pole (blue arrowheads), peripheral retinal pigment epithelium atrophy (yellow stars), and diffuse vascular thinning.
