Acta Ophthalmologica
|August 1, 1984
Abstract:
A chronic bilateral non-granulomatous uveitis triggered by a chlamydial infection developed in a patient with HLA-B 27. Cyclosporin A was administered as an ultimate remedy. It had a rapid curative effect against the inflammation. Probable cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, however, was observed 2 months after the onset of this treatment. Retinitis healed after discontinuation of Cyclosporin A therapy.
