Abstract |
This report describes a dog model of multifocal choroiditis with serous retinal detachment after carotid injection of Streptococcus mutans. The fundus lesions occurred mainly in the tapetal area of the retina, and, on histopathologic examination, microabscesses in the choroid and subretinal space were observed.
