Abstract
In this prospective study undertaken between november 1989 and december 1991, the authors report their observations of ocular lesions seen in a cohort of 67 AIDS patients hospitalised in the Infectious Diseases department CHU Fann Dakar. Ocular lesions were discovered in 52.23%. These lesions were observed in both HIV-1 and HIV-2 positive patients, however they were much more common in the former group (77.14%). Rétinal pathology was by far the most frequently observed (63%) and yet classic retinis was not discovered in our series. We feel that the ophtalmologist should play a key role in the routine care of AIDS patients especially in surveillance of retinal changes.Entities:
