ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe a case of neovascular glaucoma from cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in a human immunodeficiency virus-negative patient with immunosuppression after stem-cell transplant for multiple myeloma.METHODS:
Retrospective case report.RESULTS:
A 71-year-old man on monthly infusion of daratumumab for multiple myeloma after stem-cell transplant presenting with a 2-week history of floaters, photophobia, and blurry vision was found to have polymerase chain reaction-confirmed CMV retinitis associated with diffuse occlusive vasculitis. The patient was human immunodeficiency virus negative with a CD4 count of 450/mm3. Despite immediate aggressive treatment, the patient developed neovascular glaucoma with poor visual outcome.CONCLUSION:
Cytomegalovirus retinitis in human immunodeficiency virus-negative patients is becoming more prevalent with increasing use of systemic immunosuppression therapy for various reasons. Patients with non-human immunodeficiency virus related CMV retinitis can have severe ischemia atypical of the classic CMV retinitis and should be followed closely for neovascularization.
