Cytomegalovirus Retinitis Market Segment and Forecast up to 2023,Research Reports -Transparency Market Research
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Retinitis is caused by cytomegalovirus infection, which is a herpes-type virus that affects the retina of the human eye among patients having a weak immune system that could be due to conditions such as AIDS, leukemia and/or pregnancy. Symptomatic conditions include floaters, flashes, and blind spots besides loss of peripheral or blurred vision in the eyes of immune compromised patients.CMV infection often leads to hemorrhagic retinal inflammation along with vascular distribution. The CMV infection if left untreated spreads from one eye to the other, eventually leading to visual loss and/or complete blindness. Therefore, prompt diagnosis through blood as well as urine tests besides other optical tests that involve withdrawal of a small specimen fluid from the infected eye is recommended.
