description PURPOSE: To report a case of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM) associated with yellow fever. OBSERVATIONS: A 59-year-old man presented with acute blurring of his vision 30 days after symptoms of yellow fever virus infection. Findings resembling unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy of the left eye were noted on ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography. The right eye exam was normal. He was managed conservatively and recovered complete visual function in 8 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: We describe a case of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy disease in a patient infected by yellow fever virus confirmed with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
