Ocular Findings of Acute Cytomegalovirus Infection in an Immunologically Competent Adult

CYTOMEGALIC inclusion disease is a multiorgan viral infection that in adults is most often identified in immunocompromised hosts. Ocular findings in such patients are typically those of acute necrotizing retinitis with variable involvement of the anterior segment.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Cytomegalovirus infection is identified much less frequently in immunocompetent adults. Only a few such patients with ocular involvement have been described11 , 12; only one of these patients had retinitis, and neither histologic nor virologic confirmation was documented.11 We report serologically and virologically documented acute cytomegalovirus infection associated with self-limited retinitis and impaired tear secretion in a previously healthy adult.Case ReportA 45-year-old . . .
