good case and nice questions…
Thanks for this case
During the eighties, we have seen lots of cases like this here in Brazil. Soon after in the nineties we still keep seeing some, but with the advent of new treatments (new antiviral agents) for HIV related infections nowadays, fortunately, we see less and less ! Brazil offers free public treatment to all patients regardless of their social conditions!
Question framing is wrong. In the options they would have written as CMV retinitis but not as cytomegalovirus
Good questions. Thanks
