Investigation revealed retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) disruption and subretinal thickening infero-nasally to the fovea. Results: Orbital corticosteroids were successfully administered. The investigative and management approach has been compared to that of similar cases available in the literature. Conclusion: This report summarises a case report and a review of available literature on HFMD associated maculopathy, providing an overview on the condition. IntroductionHand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common systemic viral infection occurring in childhood or immunocompromised adults, caused most commonly by Coxsackievirus A16 (C-A16) and Enterovirus 71 (EV-71) . Characteristics of HFMD include a maculopapular rash over the hands and feet with mouth ulcers. Whilst usually HFMD is a self-limiting condition which resolves spontaneously, complications can occur. Rare and severe complications, including neurological complications and pulmonary oedema, result in mortality or morbidity, are usually attributed to EV-71 , . Mortality rates vary by outbreak but have been reported as 0.03–0.78% of reported cases , . Ocular involvement is also rare, but can manifest a variety of ophthalmic conditions. The most reported ocular manifestation of HFMD is acute maculopathy, presenting as unilateral acute vision loss or a scotoma . Case descriptionA 35-year-old female presented to general hospital emergency eye casualty with a one-day history of painless central loss of vision in her right eye. She experienced no floaters or flashes and denied any ocular trauma. She was a non-smoker with no significant medical history, with no new sexual partners and took no regular medications. On further questioning, five days previously, she had experienced flu-like symptoms including a fever, headache and coryzal symptoms. She had noted mouth ulcers with a vesicular rash on her hands and feet. These symptoms were self-limiting and resolved within a few days. The patient’s 3-year-old son had experienced the same coryzal symptoms a week previously, which had also resolved spontaneously. The patient’s son had no ocular symptoms. He had been clinically diagnosed with a self-limiting case of HFMD by their General Practitioner and further diagnostic tests were not warranted in line with national guidance , .On examination, unaided visual acuity was 6/60 in the right eye and 6/6 in the left. Anterior segment examination of both eyes was normal, with no signs of anterior uveitis or relative afferent pupillary defect. Fundal examination of the left eye was normal. In the right eye, fundal examination revealed an area of grey discolouration with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) disruption and subretinal thickening infero-nasally to the fovea (Figure 1 ). Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) was completed. SD-OCT of the left eye was normal. The discolouration seen on fundal examination in the right eye corresponded to an area of hyper-reflectivity along the RPE (Figure 2 ). Routine bloods tests, syphilis serology and QuantiFERON tests were normal. Based on the patient’s clinical findings and reported history, a clinical diagnosis of HFMD associated acute maculopathy was made. Clinical investigation was consistent with signs and symptoms of a maculopathy and the patient’s symptoms and contact history were suggestive of HFMD as the causative illness. There was no evidence to suggest EV-71 as the causative organism (such as recent travel to Southeast Asia), hence further PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing was not completed .After further clinical discussion, including explaining different treatment options a decision was made (based on the severity of the patient’s symptoms) to trial an orbital floor triamcinolone injection (0.5 ml triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg/ml).On follow-up two weeks later, the patient’s ocular symptoms resolved with visual acuity improving to 6/6 leaving minimal RPE disruption. DiscussionHFMD commonly affects children, with highest prevalence among children under five years . It presents with flu-like symptoms and pathognomonic maculopapular rash on the hands, feet and mouth with oral ulcers . The method of transmission is via droplets or direct contact. Carrier viral shedding can last between one to twelve weeks . HFMD is usually a self-limiting condition. Other differentials, that may present with a palmar plantar rash include dermatitis and eczema, however these would not present with flu-like symptoms . Other conditions which could be present similarly include secondary syphilis. Maculopathy with recent HFMD was first reported in 1996 . In 2004, the first case report to demonstrate positive viral titres for Coxsackie A16 and B6 at the time of symptomatic maculopathy was published . More recently, PCR testing is beginning to be utilised in a diagnostic setting, although this remains uncommon . The vast majority of literature identified simply rely upon clinical diagnosis, as in this report. Documented ocular manifestations of HFMD remain uncommon and the pathophysiology of these ocular manifestations remain largely unknown. Generally, two hypotheses have been suggested. Firstly, direct haematogenou</PlainText></TextGroup>s spread of the virus has been demonstrated in vitro <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="13"></TextLink>. Alternatively, molecular mimicry and autoimmune mediated response have also been suggested as a possible aetiology <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="13"></TextLink>.</Pgraph><Pgraph>In this case, a diagnosis was made based on the classical clinical symptoms of HFMD. In line with current British guidelines, no viral PCR or blood tests were sent <TextLink reference="1"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="6"></TextLink>. As per clinical guidelines, if the patient had been pregnant, or suspicion of EV-71 infections had been high (including recent travel to Asia), viral PCRs could have been useful <TextLink reference="6"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="14"></TextLink>. Furthermore, it may be sensible to carry our PCR testing if symptoms had not been consistent with HFMD or a typical maculopathy, to exclude alternative diagnoses. Whilst investigating the viral serotype provides minimal clinical benefit, it may be of academic interest to collect data regarding serotypes and their correlation to ocular manifestations. Several reports have linked HFMD with alternative ocular manifestations including conjunctivitis, uveitis, retinal detachment and vasculitis <TextLink reference="15"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="16"></TextLink>. However presently, it is impossible to assess for correlations to certain serotypes and ocular manifestations, given the limited data. Table 1 <ImgLink imgNo="1" imgType="table" /> summarises some of the ocular manifestations with corresponding viral serotype identified in the available literature.</Pgraph><Pgraph>In this case, only standard fundus photography and SD-OCT were employed. However, in the literature, multiple papers are dedicated to multimodal imaging of maculopathies associated with HMFD <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="17"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="18"></TextLink>. These papers use imaging to further understand disease progression and pathophysiology of HFMD associated maculopathy <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="17"></TextLink>. Each case series demonstrated inflammatory evolution, which resolved on follow-up. Anjou et al. used fluorescein angiography, fundus autofluorescence and indocyanine green angiography to suggest that inflammation originated at the inner choroid <TextLink reference="18"></TextLink>. Jung et al. and Vaz-Pereira et al. used the same imaging modalities but were unable to confirm initial choroid inflammation, but instead found evidence of inflammation at the RPE, choroid and outer retina <TextLink reference="13"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="17"></TextLink>. Perhaps most crucially, all papers noted that improvements in inflammation, corresponded to visual improvements <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="17"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="18"></TextLink>.</Pgraph><Pgraph>Treatment options are limited for viral maculopathy. Much of the literature advocates a ‘watch and wait’ strategy with regular follow-up and review <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="17"></TextLink>, <TextLink reference="19"></TextLink>. This conservative approach relies on the self-resolution of HFMD. Conversely, Agrawal et al. demonstrated oral steroids can be utilised with no adverse effects <TextLink reference="15"></TextLink>. Steroids have been hypothesised to limit tissue damage, although no literature could be identified that specifically investigated this <TextLink reference="12"></TextLink>. In this case an orbital floor corticosteroid injection was trialled given the significant and rapid sight loss, to no adverse effect and full resolution of acuity. </Pgraph></TextBlock> <TextBlock name="Conclusion" linked="yes"> <MainHeadline>Conclusion</MainHeadline><Pgraph>In patients presenting with an acute unilateral vision loss preceded by a flu-like illness, clinicians should consider a viral cause as a possible differential diagnosis.
