Among those, 81 patients who were diagnosed of CMV retinitis, the following was studied: anti-retroviral treatment, anti CMV treatment, survival time and CD4 lymphocyte count. RESULTS: Treatment with protease inhibitors in HIV patients showed an increase in life expectancy, reduced the incidence of CMV retinitis and a reduction in CMV retinitis prevention treatment was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with protease inhibitors has reduced the rate of CMV retinitis in HIV patients.
