摘要: Cytomegalovirus retinitis is a neglected disease in resource-poor settings, part because of the perceived complexity care and ophthalmologists are rarely accessible. In this paper, we describe pilot programme CMV management by non-ophthalmologists. The consists systematic screening all high-risk patients (CD4 <100 cells/mm3) AIDS clinicians using indirect ophthalmoscopy, treatment with active intravitreal injection ganciclovir. Prior to programme, was not routinely examined for, or treated, Myanmar.
