Cytomegalovirus chorioretinitis in human immunodeficiency virus (case study)
Cytomegalovirus retinitis affecting the posterior pole of the eye is the most common opportunistic infection in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It typically develops at CD<sub>4</sub> lymphocyte levels below 50-100 cells/μL and, if untreated, leads to blindness. Much less frequently, cytomegalovirus infection results in choroiditis, followed by secondary retinal changes. This article presents a clinical case of cytomegalovirus chorioretinitis in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient.
