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 (CMV) retinitis may persist as an asymptomatic disease.
- Common symptoms associated with CMV retinitis include:
- Defects in a patient's peripheral vision
- Scotomata
- Floaters
- Central retinal lesions
- Lesions on the macula or optic nerve[4]
- Blurred vision
- Retinal hemorrhaging [5]
Tuberculosis
Fungal
Candida albicans
Aspergillus fumigatus
- Rapid progression of vision loss
- Retinal vessel thrombosis, infarction, and necrosis
Cryptococcus neoformans
- Intermittent blurring
- Vitritis [5]
Toxoplasmosis
Syphilis
- Reduced vision
- Contraction of visual fields[5]
