Cytomegalovirus retinitis in rheumatic disease: a case report

A Winkler et al. Arthritis Rheum. 1987 Jan.

Abstract

We describe a 67-year-old white man with Wegener's granulomatosis who was treated with cyclophosphamide, then with azathioprine, and who subsequently developed cytomegalovirus retinitis. The patient initially improved on a course of adenine arabinosine, but his retinitis has progressed, despite discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy. We show that cytomegalovirus retinitis does occur in patients with rheumatic diseases who receive immunosuppressive therapy.
