Bilateral acute multifocal retinitis and retinal vasculitis secondary to Rickettsia typhi infection

Rickettsial disease should be highly suspected in a patient with AMR and occlusive small vessel vasculitis. Retinal lesions may be either infiltrative or ischemic in nature. Diagnosis, which can be aided by multimodal retinal imaging, is essential for prompt initiation of appropriate antibiotic therapy.
