cytomegalovirus retinitis/edema

OBJECTIVE To describe cystoid macular edema in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome treated with highly active anti-retroviral therapy, who had or had not already had cytomegalovirus retinitis. METHODS Case report. RESULTS Five acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients,

OBJECTIVE To report the authors' experience using fluocinolone acetonide (Retisert) to treat cystoid macular edema (CME) resulting from immune recovery uveitis (IRU) in 2 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients with a history of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. METHODS Interventional case

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated cystoid macular edema (CME) occurring during inactive cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, in AIDS patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and without anti CMV treatment for 10 patients. METHODS 12 patients were followed over 24 months.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis comorbid with diabetic retinopathy is uncommon. We report a case of bilateral CMV retinitis and diabetic retinopathy in a patient who underwent pancreas transplantation and share the experience of the treatment outcome. An 18-year-old male diagnosed with type-1

OBJECTIVE To describe a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who presented with cystoid macular edema (CME) which was not associated with active cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis or AIDS-related microvasculopathy. METHODS A 32-year-old man with AIDS and a past ocular history of

BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is the most common opportunistic ocular infection in AIDS patients. Cidofovir has proved to be highly effective in treatment of CMV retinitis. Iritis and bulbar hypotony are known as the major complications after intravenous and intravitreal use of this

BACKGROUND Cystoid macular edema (CME) in AIDS patients with inactive cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is an uncommon but potentially sight-threatening complication. The pathogenesis of CME in these patients is unclear. This study tries to identify possible risk factors by analyzing the charts of

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common intraocular opportunistic infection in profoundly immunocompromised patients with AIDS. It is characterized by an acute, progressive, necrotizing retinitis in patients with a CD4 count of <50 cells/μL. Although the incidence of CMV retinitis has declined

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is a late complication of organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant, the risk of which depends on the degree of immunosuppression. With the institution of preemptive ganciclovir therapy early after transplant, most patients survive episodes of life-threatening CMV

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and fluorescein angiographic appearance of cystoid macular edema associated with cytomegalovirus retinitis in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). METHODS We retrospectively examined the clinical and photographic records of four patients

OBJECTIVE Although serous macular exudation has been described in patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) with active cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, cystoid macular edema (CME) is not encountered in this clinical setting. In contrast to these findings, we describe vision loss

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the macular volume in eyes with immune recovery uveitis (IRU) and to describe a new method to quantify macular edema with the use of confocal scanning laser tomography (cSLT). METHODS A prospective study was performed to assess the macular volume with cSLT in patients with and

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical features associated with immune recovery in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis who are taking highly active antiretroviral therapy. METHODS Sixteen patients were evaluated prospectively at the National Eye

OBJECTIVE To report a case of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in an HIV-negative, iatrogenically immunosuppressed patient with chronic uveitis following intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA). METHODS Observational case report. METHODS A 56-year-old female with chronic idiopathic panuveitis on
