BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus retinitis is a common AIDS-associated illness, leading to blindness in up to 30% of patients. This study was to investigate the prevalence and clinical management of the cytomegalovirus retinitis associated with AIDS in a large municipality of China. METHODS Clinical and laboratory data from 23 cytomegalovirus retinitis patients (35 eyes) out of 303 hospitalized AID...

we tried to evaluate prevalence and characteristics of iranian hiv infected patients with retinitis due to opportunistic infections. in this cross sectional study, we evaluated 106 hiv infected patients via indirect ophthalmoscopy and slit lamp examination by 90 lens to find retinitis cases. general information and results of ophthalmologic examination were analyzed. prevalence of retinitis due...

Purpose We hereby describe a case of persistent cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia and retinitis following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) that was successfully treated with infusion CMV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) despite previous treatment Epstein Bar Virus (EBV) -specific CTL, which occurred 5 months earlier. Observations Following several anti- viral medication tri...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed on vitreous, aqueous and conjunctiva for the detection of cytomegalovirus in AIDS patients with a clinical diagnosis of cytomegalovirus retinitis. MATERIAL AND METHOD PCR-based assay was used to detect cytomegalovirus DNA in vitreous, aqueous and conjunctival samples from 24 patients with the acquired immu...

BACKGROUND Since the introduction of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), AIDs related morbidity and mortality have declined. However, the advent of HAART brought the new problem of immune recovery inflammatory syndrome. Cytomegalovirus retinitis remains the most common cause of visual loss in AIDs patients. Some patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis who experienced immune recovery a...

OBJECTIVE To describe a syndrome of posterior segment intraocular inflammation that causes visual loss in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and cytomegalovirus retinitis. This syndrome was associated with immune recovery mediated by combination antiretroviral treatment including protease inhibitors. DESIGN A case-control study at 2 university medical centers. PARTICIPANTS One...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is one of the rare but debilitating presentations of the CMV infection in children with leukemia. Herein, we report a 12-year-old boy with acute myeloid leukemia complicated by rapid progressive visual loss during relapse of leukemia. The definite diagnosis of CMV retinitis was made after vitreous aspiration. Despite prompt treatment and ophthalmologic interventi...

Cytomegalovirus retinitis is common in adults with AIDS but has been reported infrequently in children with perinatally acquired HIV infection. The cases are presented of two infants with vertically acquired HIV infection who developed disseminated cytomegalovirus infection and retinitis, and who posed difficult management issues.

BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis has been extensively described in patients with advanced or late human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease under ineffective treatment of opportunistic infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) failure. However, there is limited information about patients who develop active cytomegalovirus retinitis as an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (...
