Overview
Multiple risk factors are associated with the potential manifestation of retinitis. The most common risk factor responsible for the manifestation of retinitis is linked to a variety of unmitigated, rare genetic disorders that are vertically inherited from parents to offspring. [1] Other mitigated risk factors include infectious agents such as cytomegalovirus, taxoplasmosis, tuberculosis, and candida. Cytomegalovirus remains the number one risk factor for developing a progressive form of retinitis within HIV infected patients.
Risk Factors
- Inherited genetic disorders, either autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked. [1]
- Infectious agents may cause result in retinitis.
- Diseases that may result in retinitis include, cytomegalovirus, tuberculosis, taxoplasmosis, and candida.[2]
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the number one recognized condition responsible for causing retinitis within HIV infected populations. [3]
