Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis has been well documented in the literature, both in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and in other immunocompromised hosts. The clinical and histopathologic findings in three patients with AIDS and CMV retinitis are presented. In areas of healed retinitis, focal, yellow-white, plaque-like lesions and small refractile retinal lesions were noted clinically. Histopathologic studies confirmed the plaque-like lesions to be intraretinal calcifications. Detailed clinical pathologic correlation between fundus photographs and histologic material is made and its clinical importance discussed.
