    To quantify the inflammatory reaction that can be seen in HIV-infected patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis after the introduction of an HIV protease inhibitor and correlate it with ocular findings and systemic HIV parameters.. Report of a patient with CMV retinitis systematically followed by slit-lamp examination, funduscopy, fundus photographs and laser flare photometry before and after introduction of an HIV protease inhibitor.. Manifest granulomatous panuveitis developed 2 months after the introduction of the protease inhibitor indinavir (CD4 rise from 2 to 64 CD4/mm3) and coincided with cicatrization of the CMV retinitis in the absence of efficient anti-CMV therapy.. Occurrence of uveitis in patients with CMV retinitis following the introduction of HIV protease inhibitors may be a factor indicating a good ocular prognosis, possibly pointing to the presence of the anti-CMV repertoire in the reconstituting CD4 cell population.
