Role of multicolour imaging in post-fever retinitis involving posterior pole

Purpose To describe composite multicolour (MC) imaging features along with the monocoloured fundus reflectance images in active and resolving stages of post-fever retinitis (PFR). Methods Retrospective image analysis of cases of PFR who underwent dilated retinal clinical examination followed by optical coherence tomography and MC imaging. Results Twenty-five eyes of 18 patients diagnosed with PFR were included. There were 11 males and 7 females. Mean age of patients was 30.63 years. The retinitis lesion appeared bright white on MC image and white mainly on blue and green reflectance images during the active stages of PFR. The lesion appeared dull-grey to greyish white during the resolving stages and as dull-green in resolved cases. The active stages showed the presence of intraretinal/subretinal fluid which appeared as green colour on MC images and less green to normal during resolving stages. Hard exudates were seen as bright yellow- or orange-coloured spots on MC image during the resolving stages of the disease. Conclusion The different stages of PFR show different colour on multicolour image and different reflectance patterns on individual colour reflectance channels. Hence, multimodal fundus imaging with different wavelength can be helpful for differentiation of activity in PFR..
