 AIM: The aim work determine prevalence, structure forms and evaluate in CMV-uveitis.

All had stage 4B HIV infection according V.V. Pokrovskys classification (2006). During work, visometry, perimetry, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy used.
 RESULTS: main form disease chorioretinitis, diffuse generalized are diagnosed 68.0% cases. In predicting acuity, regression criterion disease.
 CONCLUSIONS: Diffuse prevailed practice. Localization chorioretinal process a predominantly nature predetermined more than third cases met criteria for blindness WHO (1977).
