    Author: Bachman DM, Rodrigues MM, Chu FC, Straus SE, Cogan DG, Macher AM.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1982 Jul; 89(7):797-804. PubMed ID: 6289217.
    Abstract:
    A 35-year-old homosexual man with cytomegalovirus viremia developed retinitis. He also had a new syndrome consisting of a persistent T-lymphocyte deficit, pneumocystis pneumonia, recurrent Candida albicans esophagitis, skin ulcerations caused by herpes simplex virus, Type 2, disseminated Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection, and molluscum contagiosum. Histopathologic examination revealed bilateral necrotizing retinitis with virions in retinal, choroidal, and optic nerve tissues. Postmortem cultures of retina and vitreous were positive for cytomegalovirus.
