Objective: To investigate the intraocular fluid characteristics of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) complicated with cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) after antiviral treatment. Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 49 patients with AIDS and concomitant CMVR admitted to our hospital from November 2018 to December 2024. They were divided into a control group (n=23, 30 eyes) and a combination group (n=26, 30 eyes) according to different treatment methods. The control group received systemic antiviral treatment with intravenous sodium phosphonate, while the combination group received intravitreal injection of ganciclovir (GCV) on this basis. The intraocular fluid characteristics of the two groups were compared. Result: After treatment, the levels of CMV nucleic acid load, interleukin-6, IL-8, IL-10, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (BFGF), and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) in the intraocular fluid of both groups were lower than before treatment, and the combined group was lower than the control group (P<0.05); No HSV was detected in both groups before and after treatment EBV、VZV、HHV-6。 Spearman correlation analysis showed that the CMV nucleic acid load in aqueous humor was positively correlated with IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, VEGF, BFGF, and VCAM (P<0.05). Conclusion: AIDS patients with CMVR showed better efficacy after systemic and local antiviral treatment, and exhibited significant decreases in CMV nucleic acid load and related cytokines in aqueous humor.
