          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Avaliar as manifestações oculares do paciente HIV positivo. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: É um estudo retrospectivo em 1100 pacientes ambulatoriais HIV positivo em três anos com ficha padrão e exame oftalmológico completo, atendidos no Departamento de Oftalmologia da Escola Paulista de Medicina. RESULTADOS: Dos 1100 pacientes, 869 (79%) eram do sexo masculino e 231 (21%) do feminino. Os fatores de risco mais importantes foram: homossexualidade masculina em 303 (27,55%), heterossexualidade em 272 (24,73%), usuários de drogas endovenosas em 168 (15,27%) e causa indeterminada ou não revelada em 246 (22,36%). As queixas oculares mais freqüentes foram: 432 (39,27%) pacientes com baixa da acuidade visual; 138 (12,55%) com embaçamento visual; 64 (5,82%) com dor ocular, 186 (16,9%) com queixas inespecíficas e 235 (21,36%) pacientes não apresentavam qualquer queixa. As manifestações oculares mais freqüentes foram: retinite por CMV em 246 (22,36%) dos pacientes; exsudatos algodonosos em 110 (10%), blefarite em 51(4,64%) e toxoplasmose ocular em 48 (4,36%). CONCLUSÃO: Houve progressão da doença entre os heterossexuais e aumento da incidência no sexo feminino nesta população estudada. Os que apresentavam queixas oculares foram a maioria. A manifestação ocular mais freqüente foi a retinite por CMV em 246 (22,36%). Encontramos 10% de exsudatos algodonosos.

RESULTS: Eigth hundred and sixty nine (79%) of the 1,100 patients studied were male and 231 (21%) female. The most important risk factors were: male homossexuality in 303 cases (27.55%), heterossexuality in 272 (24.73%), endovenous drugs use in 168 (15.27%), and unknown cause in 246 (26.36%). Related to ocular complains, we found 432 (39.27%) patients with decreased visual acuity, 138 (12.55%) with visual hazy, 64 (5.82%) with ocular pain, 186 (16.9%) with inespecific complaints, and 235 (21.36%) with no complains. The most frequent ocular manifestations were: CMV retinitis in 246 (22.36%), cotton wool spots in 110 (10%), blepharitis in 51 (4.64%), and toxoplasmosis in 48 (4.36%). CONCLUSION: The increase of disease ratio was observed among heterossexual and females in this specific population. Patients with ocular complains were 79.42% . The most frequent ocular manifestations was CMV retinitis, in 246 (22.36%). We found also 10% of cotton wool spots.

          Retinal toxicity in human immunodeficiency virus-infected children treated with 2',3'-dideoxyinosine.

          To assess the safety and antiretroviral activity of 2',3'-dideoxyinosine, we enrolled 43 children with symptomatic (Centers for Disease Control class P-2) human immunodeficiency virus infection in a Phase I-II study and monitored them prospectively for the development of ocular complications secondary to HIV infection or drug toxicity. Follow-up ranged from 12 to 103 weeks with a median follow-up of 71 weeks. Three of 43 children (7.0%) developed peripheral atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium during treatment with 2',3'-dideoxyinosine. The two children with the most severe retinal atrophy were enrolled in the study at the highest dosage studied (540 mg/m2/day). In contrast to findings in children, no retinal atrophy in HIV-infected adults treated with 2',3'-dideoxyinosine has been evident to date.

            Ocular examination and diagnosis in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

            Ocular involvement is seen frequently and is an important source of morbidity in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. We outline here the general skills of physical diagnosis valuable to primary care physicians or infectious diseases specialists in recognizing and evaluating ocular complaints in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. We provide an overview of common ocular diseases in these patients, with an emphasis on signs and symptoms that aid in the differential diagnosis.
