Overview

The hallmark of retinitis is overall vision loss. A positive history of disturbances in color perception and night blindness is suggestive of retinitis. Other symptoms of retinitis include the loss of peripheral vision and cone-rod dystrophy. ^[1] Infectious diseases may cause retinal hemorrhaging or retinal tissue lesions.

Symptoms

Genetic

Retinitis Pigmentosa

Vision loss
Tunnel vision^[2]
Clear central vision accompanied by the loss of peripheral vision
Cone-rod dystrophy
Disturbances in color perception
Night blindness^[3]

Infectious Agents

Cytomegalovirus

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis may persist as an asymptomatic disease.
Common symptoms associated with CMV retinitis include:

Defects in a patient's peripheral vision
Scotomata
Floaters
Central retinal lesions
Lesions on the macula or optic nerve^[4]
Blurred vision
Retinal hemorrhaging ^[5]

Tuberculosis

Fungal

Candida albicans

Decreased vision
Pain due to uveitis^[5]

Aspergillus fumigatus

Rapid progression of vision loss
Retinal vessel thrombosis, infarction, and necrosis

Cryptococcus neoformans

Intermittent blurring
Vitritis ^[5]

Toxoplasmosis

Reduced vision
Seeing floaters^[5]

Syphilis

Reduced vision
Contraction of visual fields^[5]
