Implication

Comparative analysis reveals distinct outcomes in CMV retinitis patients, suggesting tailored surveillance strategies are essential.

Abstract

CMVR demonstrates age and etiology related variability in clinical presentation and disease course. Pediatric patients, particularly following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, may exhibit more severe manifestations, highlighting the importance of careful, age-informed retinal surveillance.
