Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is one of the rare but debilitating presentations of the CMV infection in children with leukemia. Herein, we report a 12-year-old boy with acute myeloid leukemia complicated by rapid progressive visual loss during relapse of leukemia. The definite diagnosis of CMV retinitis was made after vitreous aspiration. Despite prompt treatment and ophthalmologic intervention, he died because of AML relapse. Viral infections, especially cytomegalovirus infection, may present with vague clinical pictures during any time of chemotherapy, which may not be easily distinguishable from bacterial or fungal retinitis and also chemotherapy-induced retinopathies. Clinician should consider CMV retinitis in seropositive patients especially those without detectable viremia.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is an opportunistic infection affecting immunocompromised patients. This case series describes 2 patients aged 19 and 10 years who were undergoing cancer treatment and were referred for complaints of worsening blurred vision. The retinal findings in the first patient showed multiple yellowishsubretinal areas with haemorrhages, while in the second patient there was presence of frosted branch angiitis. Confirmation of diagnosis was done using PCR of vitreous samples and blood CMV levels. Both tested negative for HIV. Both received intravitreal and systemic ganciclovir. It is important for ophthalmologists to consider CMVretinitis in all patients with any form of immunosuppression.
