Abstract: | AIDS ocular complications have been researched in 70 hospitalised patients in the two main hospitals of Bamako (Mali) during one year (1992-1993). Men were predominant (sex ratio 1.6). HIV1 infections (67%) were most frequent than HIV1 + HIV2 (21.4%) or HIV2 infections (11.4%). Most of the patients were on the WHO's clinical stage III; 34% of them had ocular complications, quite often non infectious: cotonous nodules (10%), vascularitis (5.7%) and retineous haemorrhages (4.3%). Ocular opportunistic infections were rare: only one case of toxoplasmic chorio-retinitis was reported. Ocular complications were observed with all types of HIV. Vascular abnormalities were observed in the stage II or IV of AIDS and seemed, in Bamako, as a serious sign during the AIDS course. |
