Abstract:

Objective

To improve the awareness of cytomegalovirus retinitis after chemotherapy of Burkitt’s lymphoma.

Methods

The diagnosis and treatment of one 58-year-old patient of cytomegalovirus retinitis after chemotherapy of Burkitt’s lymphoma was analyzed and relevant literatures were reviewed.

Results

The condition of this patient with Burkitt’s lymphoma was relieved after multicourse chemotherapy, but immune system reconstruction failed due to long-term malnutrition and low resistibility, which led to cytomegalovirus infection and cytomegalovirus retinitis. After antiviral treatment with ganciclovir injection, cytomegalovirus DNA was negative and the vision gradually improved.

Conclusions

Timely diagnosis and standard treatment are the keys to control cytomegalovirus retinitis after immunochemotherapy of Burkitt’s lymphoma.

Key words: Burkitt’s lymphoma, Cytomegalovirus retinitis, Chemotherapy
