| Abstract |
|
Cytomegalovirus(CMV) infection in normal adults and children is usually asymptomatic. However, CMV represents a potent opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised hosts, such as neonate, victims of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, organ transplant recipients, and patients receiving immunosuppressive chemotherapy, in whom the virus is capable of causing severe morbidity and mortality. We report three cases of CMV retinitis in the kedney transplat. patients who had been treated with immunosuppressants after transplant. |
