Management

The management of both ARN and PORN requires systemic antiviral treatment with or without the adjunctive use of intravitreal antivirals. Local intravitreal treatment alone is insufficient given the propensity for bilateral involvement and the possibility of coexisting systemic manifestations (e.g., encephalitis).

The systemic antivirals listed below may be considered. The dosing, duration, and choice of therapy are not standardized and may vary depending on multiple factors (such as renal function and comorbidities), and they may best be selected in collaboration with an infectious disease specialist. It is important to measure a baseline renal function, so dose adjustment can be performed as required.Oral valacyclovir (1000 or 2000 mg TID during induction period, followed by 1000 mg/day during maintenance phase)
