Özet

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a worldwide disease affecting more than 40 million people. Despite the common use of HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatment), ocular involvement still occurs in %50-75 of AIDS patients. CMV retinitis is the most common opportunistic ocular infection in patients with AIDS. Since 15% of CMV retinitis patients may be asymptomatic, fundoscopic examination is recommended in patients with less than 50 cells/μl CD4+ lymphocytes for routine screening every 3 months. The aim of this study is to present a HIV positive patient complicated with CMV retinitis and discuss the clinical approach.
