Cytomegalovirus iritis.

L Cheng1, N A Rao, K S Keefe, C P Avila, J C Macdonald, W R Freeman.   

Abstract

We describe a case of focal cytomegalovirus iritis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who had CMV retinitis. The autopsy showed histologic evidence of focal iritis in the left eye. This iritis was characterized by infiltration of acute inflammatory cells mixed with cytomegalic cells, which was confirmed by CMV-specific immunohistochemical staining. The case suggested that cytomegalovirus could be a direct causative agent of infectious iritis in AIDS patients.
