| Core Tip |
Cytomegalovirus retinitis in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients is a complex and potentially devastating complication, but with early detection and appropriate management, outcomes can be significantly improved. Screening protocols continue to evolve, with the emphasis on identifying high-risk patients during periods of immune reconstitution. Management of cytomegalovirus retinitis in pediatric patients post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant requires a comprehensive approach that balances effective viral suppression with the mitigation of drug-related toxicities. Antiviral therapies, whether systemic, intravitreal, or implantable, remain central to treatment. Adjunctive immunotherapies, particularly adoptive T-cell therapy, offer promising outcomes in refractory cases. Emerging modalities, including high-dose intravitreal regimens and novel antivirals, hold potential for future advancements. Individualized treatment plans, guided by patient-specific risk factors and disease severity, are crucial for optimizing outcomes and preserving vision in this vulnerable population. |
