Article Synopsis
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most prevalent infection seen after kidney transplants, and this case study highlights its impact on a 25-year-old male recipient who developed CMV retinitis followed by anterior uveitis within a year of his transplant.
- The patient experienced decreased vision due to bilateral necrotizing retinitis, confirmed through clinical findings and tests showing CMV in his plasma and eye fluid; he was treated successfully with antiviral medications.
- A year later, he developed anterior uveitis with complications, requiring additional treatments including antiviral therapy and surgery, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to prevent long-term vision loss in patients with CMV ocular complications.
