The optic neuritis appeared on the sixth day of the disease with reduction
of vision to the ability to count fingers, mydriasis, and papillo-retinitis.
The treatment consisted in the use of leeches, quinine, calomel, and milk
diet. Four months later the vision of the right eye rose to 8/10, and that
