The cases of two adults who developed viral encephalomyelitis are presented. The diagnosis of herpes virus hominis infection was made as a result of the rising titers of herpes virus on indirect fluorescence tests in the serum and the cerebrospinal fluid. Both patients developed retinal vasculitis with retinal edema and hemorrhages. The importance of follow-up examinations of the fundus is stressed to avoid rhegmatogenous retinal detachment caused by retinal tears.
