Cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) is a common opportunistic infection and a major cause of blindness in patients with AIDS. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, clinical course and outcome of CMVR in patients treated at the University Hospital of Infectious Diseases "Dr. Fran Mihaljević" in Zagreb in the period from January 1995 to April 1996. CMVR was diagnosed in 8 (27.5%) of 29 patients with AIDS. The median CD4 lymphocyte count in patients with CMVR was 44 per mm3, six patients had less than 50 per mm3. Five patients died during the study period, the mean survival being 5.5 months. CMVR was present in both eyes in 5 (62.5%) patients at the time of diagnosis. Blindness in both eyes developed in 3 (37.5%) patients. In order to recognize and promptly treat CMVR frequent ophthalmologic examinations should be performed in patients with advanced HIV disease.
