- Description
- Cytomegalovirus is a genus of viruses in the Herpesviridae family. Humans, in particular immunosuppressed patients, are natural hosts to this virus. AIDS patients have poor immunity and massive retinal infections are common. Image (A) shows a posterior view of an enucleation specimen with a calotte of the eye removed. Notice the whitish exudates overlying the retina (*). In (B), higher magnification of the same specimen shows that the retinal pigment epithelium is preserved.
