Abstract Introduction:Cat-scratch disease is the most common cause of neuroretinitis. Here, we report four cases of nueroretinitis without prodromal symptom or contact history with cats.

Cases:Case 1:A 32-year-old Vietnamese man visited a local clinic because of left eye pain and blurred vision. He was referred to our hospital suspected of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease(VKH). Case 2:A 65-year-old woman presented to local clinic with left eye pain, blurred vision, and metamorphopsia. She was consulted to our hospital suspected of VKH. Case 3:A 76-year-old man visited his home doctor because of scotoma of the left eye. He was referred to our hospital suspected of VKH. Case 4:A 72-year-old woman presented to local clinic with left eye pain and visual impairment. She was consulted to our hospital suspected of malignant lymphoma.

 All four cases presented white spots near the macular and optic disc, thickening of choroid, and subretinal fluid under the macular, but no anterior chamber inflammation. The subjective symptoms and findings improved quickly with minocycline hydrochloride and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim medication. Macular star appeared during absorption of subretinal fluid in three cases. In one case, a blood test for antibody of Bartonella henselae. It turned out to be negative.

Conclusion:CSD should be excluded by measuring B. henselae antibody titer even in the diagnosis of optic neuroretinitis without prodromal symptoms or a history of contact with cats. In such cases, broad antibiotics would be effective.
