    Author: Eid Farah M, Muccioli C, Rinkevicius M, Barata Lima L, Belfort R.
    Journal: Eur J Ophthalmol; 2000; 10(3):233-8. PubMed ID: 11071031.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe cystoid macular edema in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome treated with highly active anti-retroviral therapy, who had or had not already had cytomegalovirus retinitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: Five acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, successfully treated with highly active anti-retroviral therapy, were studied. Two had inactive cytomegalovirus retinitis and cystoid macular edema in both eyes. Two had inactive cytomegalovirus retinitis in both eyes and cystoid macular edema in one eye. One patient had inactive cytomegalovirus retinitis in one eye and cystoid macular edema in both eyes. CONCLUSIONS: Cystoid macular edema may occur in AIDS patients treated with highly active anti-retroviral therapy even in cases without previous retinitis.
