Ancillary Testing
Laboratory results revealed positive HLA-B27 and HLA-B7 and slightly elevated complement C3c. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for cytolomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), and varicella zoster virus from an anterior chamber tap were negative. All other tests were negative, including Lyme serologies, rheumatoid factor, HSV-1 IgM, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, anti-nuclear antibody, complement C4, toxoplasma IgG, anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide IgG, angiotensin converting enzyme, lysozyme, rapid plasma reagin (RPR), and fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbent (FTA-ABS). Basic bloodwork did not reveal an anticoagulated state. Fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography did not reveal any signs of retinal ischemia, vasculitis, or choroidal pathology.
