Abstract
The appearance of ocular pathological outcomes following an hepatitis B vac cination is uncommon. Among them, acute multiple posterior placoid pigment epitheliopathy has been noticed after injections of Engerix B(R) recombinan t vaccine. We describe the case of an 11-year-old child who presented this affection following a Genhevac B(R) recombinant vaccine injection.
