| Abstract | Viral retinitis is a group of conditions including Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, Progressive Outer Retinal Necrosis (PORN), and Acute Retinal Necrosis. Despite different aetiologies, there are similarties. Traditionally, CMV retinitis affected Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients, but is now being increasingly recognised outside of this group. Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) has changed the presentation of CMV retinitis, whilst the advent of intravitreal antivirals has changed the treatment options available. This course aims to highlight these and other trends in viral retinitis via the below talks: 1. Who is at risk? Background & demographics. 2. Situation in Asia vs Western patients. 3. Presenting signs and symptoms 4. Diagnostic challenge - how to make a diagnosis? 5. Therapeutic challenge - Medical treatment & long term prophylaxis 6. Therapeutic challenge - Surgical treatment 7. Summary + case study + small quiz. |
