I'm not allowed to see that. I live in the UK.
Let's see some ID pal. I promise I will only keep it for 7 days and totally not sell it or use it for nefarious or fascist purposes
Sure
Well shit, my vibe coded software sees nothing wrong with this, let him through, and give me my 10$ for saying he’s an adult
Wait... it does make you go blind?
Not a med student, but I would rule out syphilis and tuberculosis. So I'd have a 1 in 3, not bad, not bad.
You can strike off toxoplasmosis as well.
Most likely a virus although fungal infections could also do it
Actually the immuncompromised status makes me think of toxoplasmosis, these yellow cotton like atrophy can be seen in ocular toxoplasmosis. But not an eye doctor so what do I know.
Edit: on 2nd thought i think it might be virus, herpes zoster to be specific. Ocular herpes zoster is rare but immuncompromised makes it much more likely.
Yep VZV or HSV is most likely culprit (although there's a few others)
Edit Not likely toxoplasmosis because it's not usually necrotising, it's retinitising and lesions, but also not an opthamologist so what do I know either lol :-)
Pedophilic Old Republicans Network?
You're gonna have to narrow it down WAY more..
Always bet on fungus
