ABSTRACT

The authors present their own clinical experience in three HIV-infected patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis aged from 8 to 36 years. Detailed analysis of the results of physical and laboratory examinations is provided. Given short life expectancy for these patients, the authors pose a deontological question as to whether or not active treatment of retinal detachment in patients with AIDS and CMV retinitis is reasonable.
