Abstract
Purpose. Present the results of a study on the differential diagnosis of active and inactive forms of cytomegalovirus retinitis. Material and methods. 29 patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis, who underwent weekly fundus fluorescence angiography and intraocular fluid polymerase chain reaction during treatment. Results. Residual contrast fluorescence in the zone of cytomegalovirus retinitis foci was assessed on a scale from 0 to 4. The correlation between the intensity of contrast fluorescence in the fundus and the number of virus copies in the moisture of the anterior chamber was determined. The median of Spearman's criteria for the studied group of patients was 0.49. Conclusion. A positive relationship was revealed between the residual luminescence of CMR foci on PAH in the delayed phase of the study and the PCR values of the intraocular fluid, which makes it possible to rely on angiography data for the differential diagnosis of active and inactive CMRR. Key words: cytomegalovirus retinitis, fluorescein angiography.
