Overview

History and Symptoms

CMV Retintis

Peripheral retinitis can be asymptomatic or present with the following symptoms:
- Floaters
- Scotomata
- Peripheral visual field defects
Central retinal lesions or lesions impinging on the macula or optic nerve are result in decreased visual acuity and central field defects.

CMV Colitis

Colitis presents with the following symptoms:
Weight loss
Anorexia
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Fever
Malaise
Patients with perforation of the bowel present with acute abdominal pain.

CMV Esophagitis

Patients with cytomegalovirus esophagitis present with symptoms of:

Odynophagia
Nausea
Mid-epigastric or retrosternal discomfort
Fever

CMV Encephalitis

Patients with cytomegalovirus encephalitis presents with:
Fever
Lethargy
Confusion

CMV Ventriculoencephalitis

Patients with cytomegalovirus ventricluloencephalitis present:
Aacute onset of symptoms with focal neurological deficits
Cranial nerve palsies
Nystagmus
Rapid progression to death

===CMV Polyradiculomyelopathy Patients with cytomegalovirus polyradiculomyelopathy present with features similar to Guillian Barre Syndrome and have symptoms such as:

Bladder incontinence
Paraplegia with gradual worsening of symptoms over weeks
