Interventions for squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva in HIV-infected individuals

Prevalence of Undiagnosed HIV Infection in Patients With Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia in a Tertiary Center in Karnataka, South India

“…15 The CD4 counts in all our patients were below 200 cells per mm 3 with a mean of 133 cells per mm 3 , which was indicative of AIDS status, and all patients were started on antiretroviral therapy. The median CD4 count of 111 cells per mm 3 in HIV-positive people at diagnosis of conjunctival tumor reported in a study by Wadell et al 17 correlates with our study.…”

“…15 Antiretroviral treatment alone was shown to cause tumor regression in a case reported by Holkar et al 26 Most studies reported a low recurrence rate 15 after excision, and the conjunctival tumors carry a good prognosis when treated early.…”

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Conjunctiva

“…In this context, the above Nigerian trend was from 29 years to 100 years (mean 46 years), 61% being male. The question of association with HIV-infection was raised in Kenya [12]. None of the present cohort was reported to be involved.…”

Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia in 200 Patients

“…5,31 The effect of highly active antiretroviral drug therapy on OSSN also is not known. 32 In our study, we did not have sufficient data on CD4 counts to study its association with OSSN.…”
