ABSTRACT
Once first infection occurs, cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains latent in myeloid
progenitor cells and the intermittent viral relapsing proceeding from activated macrophages and dendritic cells, is controlled by strong specific viral response
CD4cell y CD8-cell. CMV retinitis is characterized by spreading retinal necrosis due
to viral cytopathic effect occurs in patients who have impaired T-cell function as a
result of transplantation, AIDS, or immuno-suppressive treatment. The diagnosis of
CMV retinitis can be confirmed by PCR amplification of viral DNA in aqueous.
Updated treatment for CMV retinitis is based on the immune system recovery with
highly activity anti-retroviral therapy combined with anti CMV therapy (ganciclovir,
foscarnet, cidofovir and valganciclovir). CMV is also implicated in two forms of
anterior segment disease in immuno-competent adults, namely CMV anterior
uveitis and CMV corneal endotheliitis.
