Editor's Notes
These infections can cause ongoing tissue damage; long-term evaluation is thus required in order to determine their full impact. Most perinatal disorders have an exceedingly broad spectrum of clinical presentation, ranging from silent disease to life-threatening tissue and organ damage. The common types of congenital infections can be remembered by the acronym TORCH: toxoplasmosis; rubella; cytomegalovirus; and herpesviruses. Other infections discussed in this section include syphilis and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
Retina The retinal disease is a chorioretinitis, re- sulting in a chorioretinal scar similar to that of toxoplasmosis. Dobbins reported 15% of pa- tients showed retinal disease, and a later study by Coats, had 22% of symptomatic patients with retinal disease (7% macular and 14% peripheral scar^).'^,^^ The retinitis usually de- velops in patients with clinically apparent cy- tomegalic inclusion disease, but has been re- ported as the only manifestation of congenital CMV infection (Fig. 4).62 In addition, it has been reported that the retinal disease has de- veloped several weeks after birth.28 The histo- pathology has been reported as, many inclu- sion bodies in the retina and a few in the choroid, accompanied by extensive choriore- tinitis. Accumulation of inclusion bodies in the retina caused its focal destruction and gave rise to the development of pseudocolobomas.47
Optic Nerve Optic nerve hypoplasia and optic nerve coloboma have been described in association with cytomegalic inclusion disease.30 These findings are consistent with the teratogenic ef- fect on the central nervous system seen in this infection, which results in faulty organogen- esis. In a large study by Coats 7% of 42 symp- tomatic patients had bilateral optic atrophy.I3
Gangciclovir and foscarnet sodium deliv- ered intravenously are being used and stud- ied. However, trials of both show that viruria returns to pre-treatment levels after cessation of the dr~g.~,~~,~~ Intravitreal therapy with gangciclovir implants has also been used for the eye disease.
