  • Title: Cytomegalovirus retinitis after initiation of antiretroviral therapy.
    Author: Ahmadinejad Z, Ghetmiri Z, Rasoolinejad M.
    Journal: Acta Med Iran; 2013; 51(10):730-2. PubMed ID: 24338150.
    Abstract:
    Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), despite a reduced viral load and improved immune responses, may experience clinical deterioration. This so called "immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS)" is caused by inflammatory response to both intact subclinical pathogens and residual antigens. Cytomegalovirus retinitis is common in HIV-infected patients on ART with a cluster differentiation 4 (CD4+) counts less than 50 cells/mm3. We reported a patient with blurred vision while receiving ART. She had an unmasking classic CMV retinitis after ART.
