Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the clinical findings, therapeutic approaches and the prognosis of keratouveitis related to Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Material and Method: Four patients, who were diagnosed as keratouveitis/uveitis related to CMV infection between 2009 to 2011 in our clinic, were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The characteristics of these four patients included high intraocular pressure and progressif keratouveitis/uveitis despite systemic and topical acyclovir therapy. Therefore, realtime PCR analysis of the aqueous humour for HSV type 1, HSV type 2, VZV and CMV was performed. The results of PCR analysis were positive for CMV and negative for other viruses. Systemic ganciclovir treatment was given to all patients. The other treatment modalities were continued. In two cases, treatment responses were partial due to delayed diagnosis, corneal decompensation and cataract progression developed. The complete response to therapy was achieved in two patient due to early diagnosis. Immunosuppression was not identified in any patient. Conclusion: CMV should be considered in the differential diagnosis of keratouveitis/ uveitis in cases of endothelitis, increased intraocular pressure, corneal edema and partial response to acyclovir therapy. A PCR analysis should be performed and ganciclovir therapy should be given in these cases

Özet

Amaç: Sitomegalovirüs (CMV) enfeksiyonuna bağlı gelişen keratoüveit/endotelit ve ön üveit tablolarında klinik bulguların, tedavi yaklaşımının ve prognozun değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde 2009-2011 tarihleri arasında CMV enfeksiyonuna bağlı keratoüveit/ön üveit tanısı almış olan olgular retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Herpetik keratoüveit/ön üveit düşünülerek topikal ve sistemik antiherpetik tedavi, topikal ve sistemik steroid tedavisi ile antiglokomatöz tedavi başlanan dört olguda mevcut klinik durumun tedaviye tam yanıt vermemesi ve ilerleme göstermesi nedeniyle ön kamara sıvısından real-time PCR çalışıldı. Polimeraz Zincirleme Tepkimesi (PCR) ile HSV Tip 1, HSV Tip 2 ve VZV negatif, CMV ise pozitif olarak saptanan hastalara sistemik gansiklovir tedavisi başlandı. Topikal ve sistemik steroid tedavisi ile topikal antiglokomatöz tedavilerine devam edildi. İki vakada tanının geç konulması nedeniyle tedaviye kısmi yanıt alındı, kornea dekompansasyonu ve kataraktta artış gözlendi. İki vakada ise tanı daha erken konulabildiği için tedaviye çok iyi yanıt verdi. Hastalarda immünsüpresyona neden olacak herhangi bir patolojiye rastlanmadı. Sonuç: Endotelit, göz içi basıncı (GİB) artışı ve kornea ödemi ile giden keratoüveit olguları ve ön üveit olgularında CMV enfeksiyonu ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmeli;ön kamara sıvısından PCR yapılarak CMV tanısı konulan olgulara sistemik gansiklovir tedavisi başlanmalıdır
