Retinal arteriolar occlusions due to cytomegalovirus retinitis in elderly patients without HIV

“…There have also been a few case reports of retinal vascular occlusion in HIV/AIDS patients without CMVR [10-15]. In the five cases of ARN-like CMVR in immunocompetent patients reported in the literature [2,3,16,17], one had branch retinal artery occlusion [14].…”

Haemorrhagic transformation of cerebral infarction in an AIDS patient – thrombophaelia screen essential!

“…Increased incidence of thrombo-embolism such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, superior sagittal sinus thrombosis 3 and bilateral central vein occlusions 4 have been reported in HIV-positive patients especially in those with advanced stage disease and low CD4 counts. Risk factors for thrombo-embolism include surgery, pregnancy, trauma, stasis, concurrent infections and malignancies.…”
