    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Immunology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is characterized by severe immune dysfunction.
    • Ocular manifestations can be early indicators of AIDS.
    • Kaposi's sarcoma is an opportunistic neoplasm associated with AIDS.

    Purpose:

    • To prospectively evaluate ophthalmic findings in patients diagnosed with AIDS.
    • To identify the prevalence and types of ocular abnormalities in AIDS patients.
    • To assess the correlation between ocular findings and patient prognosis.

    Summary:

    • A study of 14 AIDS patients revealed significant ocular abnormalities in 8.
    • Common findings included cotton-wool spots, retinal hemorrhages, and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.
