  • Title: [Ophthalmologic manifestations of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in central Africa].
    Author: Auzemery A, Queguiner P, Georges AJ, Di Costanzo B, Georges-Courbot MC, Vohito MD.
    Journal: Med Trop (Mars); 1990; 50(4):441-3. PubMed ID: 2077323.
    Abstract:
    In central Africa, the authors have performed an ophthalmological examination of 77 adult patients (18-55 years) with AIDS: 33.7% had ocular abnormalities. Frequent manifestations included cotton-wool patches and retinal hemorrhages, while lacrymal hyposecretion, palpebral and conjunctival kaposi sarcoma, ocular palsy, ptosis, herpes zoster, papillar oedema, cytomegalovirus retinitis and periphlebitis were less frequent. The authors underline the necessity to perform an ocular examination for each patient with AIDS.
