Changes in retinal lesions in the process of ARN. First, the peripheral yellowish-white lesions enlarged quickly towards the posterior pole and then diminished gradually with intensive antiviral and anti-inflammation treatments. A Three days after the onset of ARN in the left eye. B Ten days after the onset of ARN in the left eye. HSV DNA load in the aqueous humour was 7.25 × 103 copies/mL at this time point. C Thirteen days after the onset of ARN in the left eye. D About 3 weeks after the onset of ARN in the left eye. HSV DNA load in the aqueous humour was 2.49 × 105 copies/mL at this time point. E About 5 weeks after the onset of ARN in the left eye. HSV DNA load in the aqueous humour turned negative at this time point. F Thirty-seven days after the onset of ARN in the left eye, which showed nearly complete disappearance of retinal lesions in fundus photography
