Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has infected nearly 900,000 persons in North America and more than 30 million worldwide.1,2 Since the initial description of eye abnormalities in HIV-positive patients more than 15 years ago,3 numerous reports have described the spectrum and natural history of HIV-associated eye disorders, which affect 70 to 80 percent of all patients at some point during their illness.4 We present here the key clinical features of the most commonly encountered ocular manifestations of HIV infection, as well as the main issues in their management.CD4+ T-Lymphocyte Count as a Predictor of RiskFor years, the . . .Keywords
