Abstract:
Objective:To observe the ocular clinical features of infantile cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From March 2019 to July 2021, 876 eyes of 438 children with CMV infection who visited Department of Ophthalmology of Henan Provincial Children's Hospital were included in the study. Among them, there were 254 males and 184 females; the age ranged from 3 days to 11 months; the gestational weeks were 28 to 42 weeks; the birth weight was 1 120 to 8 900 g. There were 384 and 54 full-term and premature infants, respectively. Fundus examination was performed in 385 cases (770 eyes) after medical consultation; 53 cases (106 eyes) of premature infants were routinely screened. CMV retinitis (CMVR) was divided into granular type and fulminant type. Patients with CMV-related diseases with moderate to severe symptoms were given intravenous drip and/or oral ganciclovir; patients with severe fundus vasculitis were combined with intravitreal injection of ganciclovir. The follow-up period was from 4 to 28 months, and the characteristics of eye lesions, systemic comorbid diseases and treatment outcomes were observed.Results:There were 516 eyes of 258 cases with normal fundus (58.9%, 258/438); 291 eyes of 180 cases with CMVR (41.1%, 180/438), of which binocular and monocular were 111 (61.7%, 111/180) and 69 (38.3%, 69/180) cases. Among the 291 eyes of CMVR, 281 eyes (96.6%, 281/291) of granular type; yellow-white point-like opacity and/or retinal hemorrhage; 10 eyes (3.4%, 10/291) of fulminant type; fundus Showed a typical "cheese ketchup-like" and vascular white sheath-like changes. Among the 180 children with CMVR, 72 patients (118 eyes) were given systemic intravenous drip and/or oral ganciclovir; 5 patients (10 eyes) were given intravitreal ganciclovir, all of which were fulminant CMVR. At the last follow-up, fundus lesions regressed significantly in 100 eyes of 61 cases; 18 eyes of 11 cases had old lesions or uneven retinal pigment; 108 cases were not treated.Conclusion:The most common fundus manifestation of CMV infection in infants is granular retinitis, and fulminant retinitis is more severe, and the lesions can be significantly regressed after timely antiviral treatment.
