The diagnosis was made by a trained ophthalmologist using slit lamp biomicroscopy and corroborated on fundus photography. A total of 201 patients were screened.

Prevalence of CMV retinitis was 7% (14\/201, 95% CI 4\u201311%). CMV retinitis was not associated with age, gender, injection drug use, CD4 count, WHO clinical stage, or antiretroviral treatment status. Blurring of vision and reduced visual acuity &lt;20\/40 were associated with CMV retinitis, but only 29% of patients with the diagnosis reported blurry vision and only 64% had abnormal vision. On multivariate analysis, the sole predictor for CMV retinitis was decreased visual acuity (OR 22.8, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). In Ho Chi Minh City, CMV retinitis was found in 7% of HIV-infected patients with low CD4.
