ABSTRACT
In late 2019, we saw the emergence of a new coronavirus, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS?CoV?2), which rapidly evolved into a global pandemic. We report two cases of ocular vascular occlusion related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID?19) disease. The first case is of choroidal artery occlusion, while the second case is of combined central retinal artery and vein occlusion (CRAO and CRVO). We performed a thorough literature search and to the best of our knowledge, neither any of the above said has been reported in COVID?19–positive patients.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infection and Aquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)is a global pandemic. Study aimed to record the retinalmanifestations in patients with HIV according to their CD4count and HAART status.Material and methods: A total of 100 patients with HIVwere examined over a period of 7 months. The patientswere selected on the basis of confirmed sero-positive HIV.They were thouroghly examined under mydriasis withindirect ophthalmoscope and fundus photographs were takenwhenever possible.Results: 32 patients (32%) were found having fundusmanifestations. Out of which majority had hiv microangiopathyand few had retinitis or choroiditis.Conclusion: There is higher incidence of retinal findings innon-HAART group and in patients with CD4<100/ml in bothgroups and HAART associated with reduced incidence ofretinal manifestations.
