Abstract Purpose:To report two cases of autoimmune disease who developed cytomegalovirus(CMV)retinitis.

Cases:Both were females aged 72 and 73 years respectively. One had acute progressive glomerulonephritis and had been treated with peroral prednisolone for 6 months. She visited us with blurring of vision in the right eye. The other case had rheumatoid arthritis and had been treated with peroral prednisolone and methotrexates for 6 months. She was referred to us for seeing floaters in the right eye.

Findings and Clinical Course:The first case showed signs of iritis, vitreous opacity, and hemorrhage in the peripheral retina in the right eye. Retinal hemorrhage exacerbated 8 months later associated with nonperfusion in the whole periphery. The aqueous humor was positive for CMV-DNA. The patient received peroral ganciclovir followed by valganciclovir. The fundus lesion stabilized and was treated by photocoagulation. The second case showed signs of iritis, panretinal occlusive vasculitis and granular white retinal lesion in the left eye. The aqueous was positive for CMV-DNA. Peroral valganciclovir was followed by improved fundus findings and by vitreous hemorrhage 7 months later. She received vitreous surgery and retinal photocoagulation.

Conclusion:These two cases were considered as CMV retinitis with chronic retinal necrosis. Retinal photocoagulation appeared to be effective to prevent retinal neovascularization.
