Bilateral Uveopapillitis Revealing a Herpes - Hepatitis B - Cytomegalovirus Viral Coinfection in an Immunocompetent Patient: Case Report from the Thiès Regional Hospital Center

Co-infection in immunocompetent patients is not a common occurrence in everyday practice, especially in the case of uveitis. The type G immunoglobulins found in the chronic carriage of the three germs raised serious questions about their virulent potential in the chronic phase. The corticosteroid therapy administered considerably reduced the inflammatory cascade that had already begun.

Abstract

Co-infection in immunocompetent patients is not a common occurrence in everyday practice, especially in the case of uveitis. The type G immunoglobulins found in the chronic carriage of the three germs raised serious questions about their virulent potential in the chronic phase. The corticosteroid therapy administered considerably reduced the inflammatory cascade that had already begun.
