To report on a case of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) toxicity apparently associated with ritonavir.
We describe a case of gradual-onset blurry vision in both eyes in a 30-year-old HIV-positive male on Highly-Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) including ritonavir Results: The patient presented with a visual acuity of 3/10 in each eye, and fundoscopy revealed paracentral pigment mottling. Computerized perimetry showed a ring-scotoma in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography revealed an anular RPE defect in both eyes, congruent with hyperautofluorescent changes on autofluorescence imaging. Full-field ERG was normal.
Since ritonavir has previously been linked with toxicity to the RPE, we consider this report as further evidence of this association.
报告一例明显与利托那韦相关的视网膜色素上皮(RPE)毒性病例。
我们描述了一名30岁接受包括利托那韦在内的高效抗逆转录病毒疗法(HAART)的HIV阳性男性双眼逐渐出现视力模糊的病例。结果:患者双眼视力均为3/10,眼底镜检查发现旁中心色素斑驳。电脑视野检查显示双眼环形暗点。荧光素血管造影显示双眼环形RPE缺损,与自发荧光成像上的高自发荧光变化一致。全视野视网膜电图正常。
由于利托那韦此前已被认为与RPE毒性有关,我们认为本报告是这种关联的进一步证据。
