Coming soonOcular histoplasmosis, commonly referred to as presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (POHS), is a multifocal chorioretinal disorder thought to arise as a late manifestation following hematogenous dissemination of the fungus *Histoplasma capsulatum*.
It primarily affects adults aged 20 to 50 who reside in or have visited endemic areas, such as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys.
The condition is clinically defined by a classic triad of punched-out peripheral or midperipheral chorioretinal scars ("histo spots"), peripapillary atrophy, and maculopathy secondary to choroidal neovascularization, notably occurring in the complete absence of vitritis or anterior segment inflammation.
While the early peripheral scars are typically asymptomatic, vision impairment develops when subretinal neovascular complexes bleed, leak fluid, or induce disciform macular scarring.
