Abstract
Objective
To observe the image characteristics of OCT in patients of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR).
Methods
Thirty-nine eyes of 26 patients of AIDS with CMVR diagnosed in Department of ophthalmology of Beijing Ditan Hospital Capital Medical University from January 2015 to December 2017 were included in this study. All the patients were males, with the mean age of 33.12±9.87 years. All the patients underwent the OCT examination by Spectralis HRA+OCT. The locations of scanning were macular, optical papilla and posterior pole of retina with retinitis. Typical images were saved and analyzed.
Results
The OCT pathological changes of CMVR included increase of retinal thickness and reflex of retina, indiscernible retinal layers, irregularity or absent external limiting membrane and/or ellipsoid zone, hyperreflective spots, vitreous cells. Among 39 eyes, there were 6 eyes with strong point-like reflection in the outer layer of retina around the lesion, 31 eyes (79.49%) with strong point-like reflection in the full layer of retina, 25 eyes (64.10%) with lesion involved macular area, 34 eyes (87.17%) with vitreous cells.
Conclusions
OCT images of the eyes with AIDS with CMVR were characterized by lesions involving the whole retina. Absent ellipsoid zone or structural changes can be seen in the affected areas and peripheral areas of the lesion.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases is the only scientific journal in my country that focuses on reporting fundus diseases. Its purpose is to combine clinical and basic research, and to give equal importance to improvement and popularization. It comprehensively reflects the leading clinical and basic research results of fundus disease disciplines in my country; cultivates professional talents in fundus disease, promotes the development of fundus disease disciplines in my country; and promotes academic exchanges on fundus disease at home and abroad. The coverage includes clinical and basic research results of posterior segment diseases such as retina, uveal tract, vitreous body, visual pathway, and internal eye diseases related to systemic diseases. The readers are medical workers and researchers related to clinical and basic research of fundus diseases. According to the journal retrieval report of the Chinese Institute of Scientific and Technological Information, the comprehensive ranking impact factor and total citation frequency of the Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases have been among the best in the disciplines of ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and ophthalmology in my country for many years. The papers published have been included in many important databases at home and abroad, such as Scopus, Peking University Core, and China Science Citation Database (CSCD).
