title: [Retinitis caused by cytomegalovirus in patients with AIDS. Clinico-therapeutic aspects and relationship with HIV retinal microangiopathy in a series of 38 patients].
abstract: We evaluate retrospectively 38 patients with AIDS and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. In 72.5% (45 from 62 eyes) it carried an important sight risk; 50% of the end of the follow-up. Evidence of extraocular illness in 28.5% of the patients. Using control groups the AIDS microvasculopathy is neither more frequent in CMV-retinitis nor associated with a special risk group (p greater than 0.05), we review treatment, follow-up and complications. The median survival was 6 months without significan differences (p greater than 0.05) with or without the finding of microvasculopathy, bilaterality or extraocular illness.
