Abstract. Purpose:To report necrotizing herpetic retinopathy in an immunocompetent patient secondary to primary infection by varicella-zoster virus(VZV). Case:A 68-year-old male was referred to us for intraocular inflammation in the left eye since 6 months before. He had been diagnosed with fungal endophthalmitis. Intraocular inflammation had progressed after vitrectomy with perfusion by antifungal drug. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 0.9 right and 0.08 left. The left eye showed signs of iritis,vitreous opacity and exudative lesion in the peripheral retina. He showed elevated IgM antibody for VZV in the serum. Systemic treatment with acyclovir and prednisolone was followed by remission of endophthalmitis. Conclusion:Primary VZV infection and immunocompetent state appeared to have induced necrotizing retinopathy with slow progression in this patient.
