Overview
The hallmark of retinitis is overall vision loss. A positive history of disturbances in color perception and night blindness is suggestive of retinitis. Other symptoms of retinitis include the loss of peripheral vision and cone-rod dystrophy. [1]
Symptoms
Genetic
Retinitis Pigmentosa
- Vision loss
- Tunnel vision[2]
- Clear central vision accompanied by the loss of peripheral vision
- Cone-rod dystrophy
- Disturbances in color perception
- Night blindness[3]
Infectious Agents
Cytomegalovirus
- Cytomegalovirus retinitis may persist as an asymptomatic disease.
- Common symptoms associated with CMV include:
Tuberculosis
- Vitreous infiltrates
- Neovascularization
- Neuroretinitis
- Retinal hemorrhaging
Fungal
=Candida albicans
- Decreased vision
- Pain due to uveitis
Aspergillus fumigatus
- Rapid progression of vision loss
- Retinal vessel thrombosis, infarction, and necrosis
Cryptococcus neoformans
- Intermittent blurring
- Vitritis
Toxoplasmosis
- Reduced vision
- Seeing floaters
