Abstract:
Cytomegalovirus(CMV) ocular infection is one of the common ocular complications seen in immunocompromised condition, such as AIDS or organ transplant recipient receiving immunosuppressive drugs, CMV papillitis is known to be care. CMV papillitis has, however, a poor visual prognosis because the treatment is more resistant to than that of CMV retinitis. We report a case of CMV papillitis after the renal transplantation which has good result with long-term ganciclovir administration.
