  • Title: [Retinal lesions in HIV seropositive patients].
    Author: Gabrieli CB, Angarano G, Moramarco A, Locaputo S, Rasi V, Pacella E.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 1989; 12(8-9):521-4. PubMed ID: 2635196.
    Abstract:
    118 patients with HIV infection underwent complete ophthalmologic examination to detect the presence of any eye pathology. The study was intended to show a correlation between such pathology and the total CD4 + lymphocyte count considered to be indicative of the immunologic status. The most frequently encountered lesions were cotton-wool patches, vascular congestion, hemorrhages, chorioretinitis, segmental vasculitis and optic disc pallar. Almost all the patients with ocular manifestations, also had a CD4 + count of less than 200/mm3 which suggest that ocular lesions are of bad prognostic significance even in asymptomatic patients.
