D M Bachman, and M M Rodrigues, and F C Chu, and S E Straus, and D G Cogan, and A M Macher

A 35-year-old homosexual man with cytomegalovirus viremia developed retinitis. He also had a new syndrome consisting of a persistent T-lymphocyte deficit, pneumocystis pneumonia, recurrent Candida albicans esophagitis, skin ulcerations caused by herpes simplex virus, Type 2, disseminated Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection, and molluscum contagiosum. Histopathologic examination revealed bilateral necrotizing retinitis with virions in retinal, choroidal, and optic nerve tissues. Postmortem cultures of retina and vitreous were positive for cytomegalovirus.
