Objective To observe the ultra-wide-angle fundus imaging characteristics of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) combined with cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR).Methods This study was a retrospective study. From July 2017 to November 2019, 124 eyes of 86 patients diagnosed with AIDS and CMVR at the Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing You'an Hospital, Capital Medical University, were included in the study. Among them, 80 patients were males (93.0%) and 6 patients were females (7.0%) with 17-58 years old. The average age was (36.86±8.82) years old. There were 48 cases (55.8%) in one eye and 38 cases (44.2%) in both eyes. All the affected eyes underwent indirect ophthalmoscope fundus examination and Aalborg ultra-wide-angle fundus photography examination. According to the characteristics of CMVR in ultra-wide-angle fundus images, it can be divided into classic type, granular type, frost-like dendritic vasculitis and optic neuroretinitis. We observed and analyzed the type of fundus of the affected eye. According to the position of the vortex vein in the fundus image and record of the lesion as the posterior pole or peripheral part, the scope of the lesion was divided into ≤1 quadrant, ＞1 quadrant and ≤2 quadrants (1-2 quadrants), ＞2 quadrants and ≤3 quadrants (2-3 quadrants), ＞3 and ≤4 quadrants (3-4 quadrants). The upper and lower vascular arches or disc edges of the macula were used as boundaries to record whether the macular area or optic disc was involved. At the same time, we recorded whether the vitreous body had obvious turbidity. The comparison of CD4+ T lymphocyte count between patients of different types was performed by one-way analysis of variance, and the comparison of the positive rate of blood CMV-DNA was performed by the χ2 test; pairwise comparisons between groups were performed by the least significant difference method.Results Among the 124 eyes, CMVR was classified into 35 eyes (28.2%) with classic type, 68 eyes with granular type (54.8%), 3 eyes with frost-like dendritic vasculitis (2.4%), and 18 eyes with optic neuroretinitis (14.5%). The lesion involved 83 eyes (66.9%) at both the posterior pole and the periphery, 22 eyes (17.7%) confined to the posterior pole, and 19 eyes (15.3%) confined to the periphery; the extent of the lesion was ≤1 quadrant in 76 eyes (61.3%), 23 eyes (18.5%) in 1-2 quadrants, 7 eyes (5.6%) in 2-3 quadrants, and 18 eyes (14.5%) in 3-4 quadrants. 54 eyes (43.5%) showed lesions involving the macular area; 52 eyes (41.9%) had lesions involving the optic disc; 33 eyes (26.6%) showed obvious vitreous inflammatory opacities. Among 86 patients, the average number of CD4+ T lymphocytes in 82 patients was 1 to 168 cells/μl, with an average of 33.60±40.02 cells/μl; the remaining 4 patients (4.7%) were unknown. There was no statistically significant difference in the positive rate of CD4+ T lymphocyte count and blood CMV-DNA load between patients in different subtypes groups (F=0.863, 0.926; P=0.462, 0.431).Conclusion The ultra-wide-angle fundus images of AIDS combined with CMVR have certain characteristics, which can manifest as classic, granular, frost-like dendritic vasculitis and optic neuroretinitis.
