  • Title: Cytomegalovirus Retinitis in infancy.
    Author: Wren SM, Fielder AR, Bethell D, Lyall EG, Tudor-Williams G, Cocker KD, Mitchell SM.
    Journal: Eye (Lond); 2004 Apr; 18(4):389-92. PubMed ID: 15069436.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe the presentation of cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) in a series of infants. METHODS: Immunocompromised infants with either HIV or systemic cytomegalovirus (CMV) were examined for CMVR. Ocular involvement was recorded and monitored by digital imaging. RESULTS: Five infants were detected to have CMVR. All the infants demonstrated changes within the macula. One infant progressed from a fine granular pattern to fulminant CMVR. CONCLUSION: Infants under a year with CMVR have a predilection for the disease to present at the macula, in contrast to the presentation in adults, which tends to involve more peripheral parts of the retina.
