ABSTRACT

Introduction: Ocular involvement in HIV/AIDS is prevalent. Method: A descriptive study of a group of patients with HIV/AIDS was carried out from Sanatorium Santiago de las Vegas, Havana, in 2009. With a universe of 380 patients with HIV/AIDS was obtained, applied the inclusion criteria (patients over 15 years, of both sexes) and exclusion (patients with cognitive impairment or a disability that is not allowed to refer information and/or undergo to eye exams and previous diagnosis of eye diseases), a sample of 148 patients, they were formed two study groups according to the developmental stage of the disease. Variables were age, sex, racial characteristics, personal medical history general and ophthalmology, stage of disease, recent results of CD4 counts and viral load and outcome of the eye examination. The statistical processing was performed using SPSS, with the percentage as a summary measure and the Chisquare test for differences in homogeneity and association. In all cases significance level was considered 0.05. Results: Males predominate (84.45%) and patients between 25 and 34 years (51.35%), no differences by racial characteristics. The 43.92% of patients had ocular involvement. In those HIV positive the most common was conjunctival microangiopathy (10.81%) and AIDS cases retinal microangiopathy (21.16%). Conclusions: the presentation of eye disease was related to the clinical stage of disease.
