Clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of Cytomegalovirus anterior uveitis and endotheliitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) anterior uveitis is the most common form of ocular manifestation of CMV in immunocompetent individuals. The difficulty in diagnosing CMV anterior uveitis may delay adequate treatment and affect outcomes. We sought to review systemically the overall clinical characteristics and compare treatment outcomes in CMV anterior uveitis and endotheliitis. A literature search was performed, and studies describing clinical characteristics, treatment regimens, and outcomes that included more than five treated eyes were included.
