Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Precipitated by Ethambutol
2006
Background
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) predominantly affects young men between 10 and 30 years of age. However, two cases of LHON during ethambutol administration have been reported in older men and one case in an older woman. We now report a second case of an older woman in whom administration of ethambutol triggered the development of LHON.
