Résumé
To report a case of an immunocompetent patient who developed cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis after complicated cataract surgery resulting in aphakia. A 67-year-old man with type 2 diabetes developed retinitis six months after cataract surgery that resulted in aphakia. Anterior chamber DNA testing was positive for CMV. Comprehensive systemic work-up revealed no immune insufficiency. The retinitis was successfully treated with intravitreal foscarnet and extended oral valgancyclovir treatment, however, he subsequently developed rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. CMV retinitis may occur in immunocompetent patients in the setting of aphakia and prolonged topical steroid use.
