Abstract:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is the most common retinal opportunistic infection in people with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Ordinarily, CMV causes little morbidity in an immunocompetent person. However, in the immunosuppressed patient this virus is responsible for progressive retinal destruction with necrosis leading to a devastating loss of vision. This paper will provide the practitioner with a clinical approach to the presentation, diagnosis and management of patients with CMV retinitis secondary to AIDS.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...
