Abstract
Cytomegalovirus retinitis is a relapsing and progressive disease that can lead to the development of irreversible blindness. A method for its treatment has been developed, which consists in a series of intravitreal injections of an antiviral drug under the control of the polymerase chain reaction of the intraocular fluid. In this paper, this method is compared with the classical one, when decisions to stop or continue intravitreal injections are made based on the results of ophthalmoscopy. Analysis of the obtained results showed a significant decrease in the number of relapses and the number of retinal detachments in those patients in whom intravitreal injections of antiviral drugs were carried out under the control of polymerase chain reaction until complete elimination of cytomegalovirus copies.
