  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 33-year-old woman had been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythmatosus 4 months before. She had been receiving systemic corticosteroid and anticancer drugs since 6 weeks. She was referred to us for bilateral conjunctival edema. No eye lesions were found except conjunctival edema. Bilateral visual impairment developed 2 months later. Her right fundus showed yellowish exudates with retinal vasculitis. The findings were pathognomonic for cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. She was treated by prompt withdrawal of above medications and by intravenous ganciclovir and γ-globulin. Similar fundus lesions developed in her left eye another 4 weeks later. Thereafter, the fundus lesions in both eyes started to improve to stabilize one month later. She has been doing well during the ensuing 20 months after withdrawal of all medications. During the whole course of the disease, no CMV was detected by serological means. We presumed that the beneficial fate of fundus lesions was due to ganciclovir as well as withdrawal of corticosteroid and anticancer agents which contributed to recovery of the immunological status of the patient.
