Tinea corporis infection manifestating as retinochoroiditis —an unusual presentation

ConclusionWe report this case to highlight that one must rule out an infective etiology of retinochoroiditis before starting oral corticosteroids as it may worsen the infection especially fungal as in our patient. A detailed medical history and thorough examination helped us in diagnosing a systemic infective pathology and the possible cause of retinochoroiditis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of infective retinochoroiditis secondary toT. corporis to be reported.
