  • Fundus characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus with acquired immune deficiency

    Objective To observe the fundus characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus with acquired immune deficiency (HIV/AIDS). Methods A total of 1041 HIV/AIDS patients were enrolled in this study. The patients included 882 males (88.70%) and 159 females (11.30%). The patientsprime; ages ranged from 12 to 73 years, with a mean age of 41 years. The median time of HIV/AIDS diagnosis was 12 months, which ranged from one month to 10 years. HIV infection was acquired through sexual contact, intravenous drug use, blood transfusion or mother-to-child transmission in 475 patients (45.63%), 508 patients (48.80%), 44 patients (4.25%) and 14 patients (1.34%), respectively. Ocular examinations (vision acuity, slit lamp microscope and fundus examination) were performed on recruited patients with HIV/AIDS. Additional exams (intraocular pressure, fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography) were done if abnormal ocular fundus was found. The ocular manifestations were diagnosed according to clinic reference. Results Ocular manifestations of HIV/AIDS were detected in 247 patients (23.73%). Of 247 patients, the most common ocular manifestation was HIV retinopathy, which was present in 132 patients (53.44%); cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) was second place, affecting 70 participants (28.34%). Clinic findings of HIV retinopathy included retina microaneurysm, hemorrhage along the blood vessel with cotton-wool spots, while irregular dry edge, granular appearing border, were present in CMVR, and the optic nerve may be affected. Fluorescein angiogram of HIV retinopathy demonstrated that hemorrhage was shown as sheltered fluorescence, with b fluorescence without leakage in center of hemorrhage. Fluorescein angiogram of CMVR demonstrated significant hemorrhage appearing as sheltered fluorescence with leakage and/or transparent fluorescence. The optic disk and lesioned area were stained with fluorescence. Conclusions There are various HIV/AIDS related ocular manifestation. HIV retinopathy and CMVR are common ocular manifestations. The main clinical findings of HIV retinopathy are hemorrhage and/or cotton-wool spots, while irregular granular appearing edges and hemorrhage were observed in CMVR.
