To determine the prevalence of HIV seropositivity among patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva.
All patients with clinical and histopathological confirmation of squamous cell carcinoma seen during a ten year period (July 1999 to June 2009) were tested for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The number of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva who are HIV positive were counted.
A total of thirty-three (33) eyes in thirty-two (32) patients were confirmed histopathologically to have conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma. Their ages ranged from 22 years to 66 years with a mean age of (38.6 ± 11.8) years (SD). The male to female ratio was 1:1.5. Twenty four (75%) of these patients were HIV positive.
Squamous cell carcinoma is associated with the human immunodeficiency virus and is thus a marker for the disease in Benin City, Nigeria.
确定结膜鳞状细胞癌患者中HIV血清阳性的患病率。
对在十年期间（1999年7月至2009年6月）临床和组织病理学确诊为鳞状细胞癌的所有患者进行HIV（人类免疫缺陷病毒）检测。统计结膜鳞状细胞癌HIV阳性患者的数量。
32例患者的33只眼睛经组织病理学确诊为结膜鳞状细胞癌。他们的年龄在22岁至66岁之间，平均年龄为（38.6±11.8）岁（标准差）。男女比例为1:1.5。这些患者中有24例（75%）HIV呈阳性。
鳞状细胞癌与人类免疫缺陷病毒有关，因此在尼日利亚贝宁城是该疾病的一个标志。
