HLA phenotype and immune responses to CMV were studied to determine whether the subset of AIDS patients who developed CMV retinitis were immunogenetically or immunologically predisposed. CMV retinitis develops in approximately 28-35% of AIDS patients and CMV encephalitis develops in 40% of those with retinitis, often leading to death. T-cell proliferation responses to CMV and HIV were assayed prospectively in...
