Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of a 12-week oral valganciclovir treatment for CMV anterior uveitis.
  • Conducted a retrospective review of patients with PCR-proven CMV anterior uveitis
  • Administered a standardized 12-week oral valganciclovir regimen
  • Monitored intraocular pressure (IOP) response and relapse rates
  • Valganciclovir was effective for initial disease control
  • Relapse after treatment discontinuation was common
  • Early IOP response may be a predictor of future relapses
  • Long-term maintenance with 2% topical ganciclovir is suggested for high-risk patients

Abstract

A standardized 12-week oral valganciclovir regimen was effective for induction but relapse after discontinuation was common. Early IOP response may predict recurrence, and prolonged maintenance with 2% topical ganciclovir could provide a practical option for high-risk patients.
