CMV-Related Uveitis: A Case Study in the Desert of Transplantation

This case study explores the occurrence of CMV-related anterior and intermediate uveitis in a kidney transplant recipient treated with belatacept. Belatacept, an immunosuppressant drug, has been linked to an increased risk of CMV disease, often with atypical presentations. The case study highlights the importance of considering CMV as a potential cause of uveitis in transplant recipients, even in the absence of typical symptoms. This study underscores the need for vigilant monitoring and prompt treatment of CMV infection in transplant patients.
