The Predictive Value of Cytomegalovirus Retinitis for Cytomegalovirus Encephalitis in Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

A fatal case of cytomegalovirus ventriculoencephalitis in a mycosis fungoides patient who received multiple umbilical cord blood cell transplantations

“…Interestingly, the patient did not develop CMV retinitis, which predicts an approximately tenfold increased risk of CMV encephalitis in AIDS patients [22]. Radiographic findings of CMV ventriculoencephalitis are nonspecific.…”

Scanning Laser Entoptic Perimetry for the Screening of Macular and Peripheral Retinal Disease

“…Fundus photographs were taken to include all areas of retinal disease as previously described. 14,15 A diagram of lesion locations was made by a qualified ophthalmologist (W.R.F.). Presence and locations of these lesions was confirmed by fundus photography, thereby effectively providing documentation of true location of any lesions on the retina within 1 hour of testing.…”

Peripheral neuropathy in HIV

“…Occasionally a lymphocyte predominant picture with low glucose warrants treatment for both tuberculosis and CMV while further results are awaited. In these cases, the discovery of CMV elsewhere Ð especially CMV retinitis 38 , would be support for a diagnosis of CMV lumbosacral polyradiculopathy, and in any case, all presumed and proven CMV lumbosacral polyradiculopathy patients should have fundoscopic examination 38 .…”
