Abstract
- Cytomegalovirus retinopathy(CMV)is a necrotizing retinitis which can occur as a late manifestation of the Acquired immunodeficiency syndromde(AIDS), which rapidly increases in number after original description of the disease in 1981 by Gottliebet al. We experienced a patient, who complained of decreased visual acuity of the left eye only we initially diagnosed the patient as CMV retinitis, and during the course of treatment, finally diagnosed the patient as CMV retinitis with AIDS, and the patient was subdivided into Group IV, Subgroup C by center for disease control classification system To our knowledge, for about 10% of the patient of the CMV retinopathy, AIDS was diagnosed like same manner as we did, but we couldn't find any report in korea, so we report this case with a review of literatures.
