Description Antiretinal antibodies can occur in the setting of paraneoplastic visual loss. Autoimmune retinopathy has also been reported in the absence of cancer, at times in association with infections such as onchocerciasis, toxoplasmosis and coronavirus. We present a case of an HIV-positive man with syphilis-related neuroretinitis associated with presence of the CAR (cancer-associated retinopathy) 40kD autoantibodies.
