The clinical differentiation between multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis (MCP) and the presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (POHS) can be difficult. Each condition is associated with peripapillary atrophy, chorioretinal spots, and subretinal neovascularization. Peripheral chorioretinal streaks have been described as the "fourth sign" of POHS. A consecutive series of patients with MCP were examined to determine the prevalence of peripheral chorioretinal streaks. Examination of 47 involved eyes in 25 patients revealed three eyes with streaks near the equator. These findings suggest that the presence of peripheral linear streaks cannot be used to differentiate the POHS from MCP.
