Abstract:
The vitreous humor from 11 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome was obtained at postmortem examination and tested for human immunodeficiency virus antigen and antibody by using the Abbott enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedures. Five patients had detectable antigen, supporting the recent observation that the virus may directly infect the retina.
