Cytomegalovirus Anterior Uveitis
CMV anterior uveitis is a rare pathology in our geographic region, but it is important to consider this etiology in cases of recurrent anterior hypertensive uveitis with a low response to local anti-inflammatory medication. Timely verification of the etiological agent with prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential in order to achieve a favorable prognosis. Long-term, low maintenance doses of antiviral therapy with local ganciclovir for several months reduce relapses of uveitis and lead to compensation of IOP.
