ABSTRACT

Objective:

To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients with cytomega-lovirus retinitis (CMVR).

Methods:

The basic information, clinical features, fundus manifestations, treatment and prognosis of AIDS patients complicated with CMVR from January 2016 to December 2019 in Chongqing Public Health Medical Center were collected. Logistic single factor regression and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients.

Results:

A total of 73 AIDS patients with CMVR were enrolled, including 54 males and 19 females. They were (41.3±12.1) years old. The median of CD4 + T lymphocyte counts was 34.0/μL, and there were five cases (6.85%) with CD4 + T lymphocyte counts> 200.0/μL. Forty cases (54.79%) were positive for cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in blood. Thirty-five patients (47.95%) were admitted with ocular symptoms, and monocular involvement was common (53.42%, 39/73). The results of ophthalmoscope showed that 41 cases (56.16%) had central lesions, 63 cases (86.30%) had exudative lesions and 52 (71.23%) had bleeding lesions. Sixty-seven patients were treated with anti-CMV therapy, and 46 patients were discharged with improved after treatment, and two patients were improved without treatment during follow-up. The median hospitalization time was 25 days. Logistic single factor regression analysis showed that the prognosis of patients with combination of anti-CMV drugs and dexamethasone was better than that of patients who were treated with anti-CMV drugs (sodium phosphonate or ganciclovir) alone (odds ratio ( OR)=0.308, P=0.038). Compared with patients aged <30 years old, the prognosis of patients aged> 50 years old was worse ( OR=14.667, P=0.009). The multivariate analysis showed that age>50 years old was the independent risk factor influencing the prognosis of CMVR ( OR=18.183, P=0.009).

Conclusions:

CMVR is frequently found in AIDS patients with low CD4 + T lymphocyte counts, but CMVR may still occur in patients with CD4 + T lymphocyte counts >200.0/μL. However, not all patients have positive CMV DNA results in blood. Therefore, it is necessary for AIDS patients to receive examination of ocular fundus. The overall prognosis of CMVR is good. Age>50 years old is an independent risk factor affecting prognosis. Appropriate use of dexamethasone combined with anti-CMV treatment can improve the prognosis.
