[The ocular manifestations in AIDS]

Ocular manifestation in two observations on patients with anti-HIV positive antibodies are presented. The primer was done on a 47-year-old patient who presented retinal micro-vasculopathy with vetous exudates, retinal and pre-retinal hemorrhages and arterial obstructions at the right eye. The right eye vision was 2/50. The latter observation was done on a two-year and eight month old child with positive HIV who presented palpebral staphylococci and marginal keratitis at the left eye. These cases shows that AIDS, as an affection implying a small group of people, because of its epidemiological particularities and therapeutical difficulties must be known by ophthalmologists, being revealed by retinal primary vasculopathies and also by the presence of some ocular infections, as it has been in the latter observation.
