“…23 , 24 Besides, the longer patients take this kind of drugs, the more likely they would develop fat metabolism disorder. 25 Finally, patients will suffer from dyslipidaemia induced arterial stenosis and retinal arterial stenosis. 26 The results of the current study showed that there was no significant difference between the untreated group and the treatment group in terms of artery diameter, inferior temporal artery diameter, superior nasal artery diameter, inferior nasal artery diameter and mean arterial diameter.…”

Introduction We aimed to investigate whether there were changes in fundus picture and retinal microvascularity of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) who were treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Methods From July 2015 to November 2016, 130 HIV/AIDS patients were collected by the Yunnan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, including 63 treatment-naïve patients and 67 that received HAART for 12 months. Fundus picture lesions, retinal microvascular diameters, CD4+ T lymphocyte count and HIV-1 plasma viral loads were compared between the two groups. The recruited patients were mainly young and middle-aged, with more males than females. There were no significant differences in smoking history, comorbidities and opportunistic infections between the two groups. Results According to the analysis results from SPSS 20.0 software, the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes in the treated patients (563.34±2.56 cells/μL) increased significantly (P=0.009) as compared with untreated patients (451.37±2.10 cells/μL), and the HIV-1 plasma viral load reduced considerably (4794 vs 0 copy/mL, P=0.000). No significant differences were observed from the fundus picture of patients after effective HAART therapy, including the retinal artery diameter, venous diameter and arteriovenous diameter ratio.

“…2 The etiology of these changes remains uncertain, and they are believed to be secondary to a retroviral endotheliitis or immune complex deposition. 6 It is known that microangiopathic complications are more common in patients with more severe immunosuppression. 1 The first case of central retinal vein occlusion (macrovasculopathy) believed to be related to AIDS was reported in 1988.…”

Background/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe a case of severe occlusive vasculitis that led to a diagnosis of AIDS in a previously healthy middle-aged man. Methods: Multimodal imaging including widefield fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and widefield fluorescein angiography was performed. Results: A healthy 46-year-old man presented with sudden onset vision loss in his left eye with an afferent pupillary defect. His examination revealed signs of retinal vascular disease in both eyes, with an ophthalmic artery occlusion in his affected left eye and a hemiretinal vein occlusion in his asymptomatic right eye. An extensive medical workup was significant for HIV positivity; he was ultimately diagnosed with AIDS, and ocular findings were attributed to an associated occlusive vasculitis. He developed anterior segment neovascularization in the left eye for which he received intravitreal bevacizumab and panretinal photocoagulation. He ultimately required cyclophotocoagulation in the left eye for poorly controlled intraocular pressure in the setting of neovascular glaucoma. Conclusion: Although HIV is most classically associated with a retinal microangiopathy, testing should be considered in cases of occlusive retinal vasculitis because it is a rare cause of such findings.
