The purpose of this study was to describe retinal complications observed in patients presenting with AIDS at Lome teaching hospital.
All patients who met WHO AIDS clinical case diagnostic in Africa, admitted for various signs in hospital, were followed between December 1996 and May 1997 for ocular examinations.
We surveyed 94 patients; 41 (43.6%) had retinal lesions. Retinal complications were cotton whool spots (30 cases), retinal hemorrhages (4 cases), papilloedema (4 cases), cytomegalovirus retinitis (8 cases). Mortality in patients with retinal complications occurred 10 months after the clinical diagnosis of AIDS.
This study has found a high retinal morbidity contrasting with other studies in Africa. This could be explained by the longer period of follow-up larger than in previous similar studies.
本研究的目的是描述在洛美教学医院就诊的艾滋病患者中观察到的视网膜并发症。
所有符合非洲世卫组织艾滋病临床病例诊断标准、因各种症状入院的患者，于1996年12月至1997年5月期间接受眼部检查。
我们调查了94名患者；41名（43.6%）有视网膜病变。视网膜并发症包括棉絮斑（30例）、视网膜出血（4例）、视乳头水肿（4例）、巨细胞病毒性视网膜炎（8例）。视网膜并发症患者的死亡率在艾滋病临床诊断后10个月出现。
本研究发现视网膜发病率较高，这与非洲其他研究形成对比。这可能是由于随访时间比以往类似研究更长。
