Abstract

Ophthalmic manifestations were studied in 34 patients suffering from AIDS. Ophthalmic disorders were found in 20 of these (58%), the most frequent being a cotton-wool-type spot (94.7%). Three patients showed an ophthalmic state compatible with choroid ischemia and atrophy of the pigmented epithelium of the retina. Three patients had necrotizing retinitis probably of viral etiology (cytomegalovirus). Other disorders observed were intraretinal hemorrhages, Roth's spots, microaneurysms, periphlebitis and ocular infiltration by Kaposi's sarcoma.
