  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 42-year-old female presented with blurring in her left eye since 2 weeks before. She had had herpes zoster 10 months before. Her husband had been dead for 4 years. Her corrected visual acuity was 1.2 in either eye. The left fundus showed diffuse retinal hemorrhages and exudates in the temporal periphery. Detection of cytomegalovirus(CMV)DNA in the aqueous humor led to the diagnosis of DNA retinitis. She showed decreased CD4+T cells and anti-HIV antibody in the blood,leading to the diagnosis of AIDS. She was initially treated by systemic ganciclovir and later by highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART). Recovery of CD4+T cells was followed by immune recovery uveitis consisting of vitreous opacity and macular edema. Vitreous opacity healed spontaneously. Macular edema improved after retrobulbar injection of corticosteroid. There is a possibility that the activity of CMV retinitis at the start of HAART may be related to onset and severity of immune recovery uveitis.
