Abstract

In patients with AIDS, over 90 % have ocular manifestations of opportunistic infections and over 70 % have accompanying signs of oculopathy. CMV infection is the most common HIV/AIDS related oculopathy and PCP, tuberculosis, HSV infection, fungus infection, toxoplasmic infections and Kaposi’s sarcoma rarely occur. Oculopathy is commonly opportunistic infections, with involvement of both intraocular and extraocular tissues. Concurrent infections may be found, such as concurrence of fungal infection and CMV infection. Some oculopathies occur in the early stage of AIDS, being an indicator of HIV infection. With the prolonged course of the illness, the occurrence of complications increases.
