摘要：

PURPOSE: To report treatment of bilateral cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in an 11-year-old girl with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). METHOD: Case report describing the use of intravitreal ganciclovir sustained-release devices to treat CMV retinitis, involving zones 1 through 3, which progressed despite single and combination intravenous therapy with ganciclovir and foscarnet. RESULTS: Stabilization with no active CMV retinitis was achieved after bilateral implantation of intravitreal sustained-release ganciclovir devices. There was no reactivation of the retinitis during the 5 months of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Sustained-release ganciclovir implants can be used to achieve local control of CMV retinitis in the pediatric patient.
