Research news from July 2021

Although this paper was published three years ago, we have now included it in our Birdshot research papers section of the website, under Birdshot overviews.

The authors emphasise the importance of, among other things: early diagnosis; imaging, especially the use of indocyanine green angiography; and the need for early and prolonged intensive treatment.
