PURPOSE: We assessed the frequency of panophthalmitis in HIV-infected patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-seven cases of panophthalmitis were screened out of 420 hospitalized patients of ophthalmology department of Cocody Teaching University Hospital, Abidjan, Ivory Coast, from January to October 1995. HIV-tests were performed in 11 patients.
RESULTS: Mean age was 40 years (from 10 months to 75 years). Four patients (36.4% of tested patients) were infected by HIV. Contrary to seronegative patients, panophthalmitis cases in HIV-infected patients occurred spontaneously without any apparent exogenous cause (foreign bodies). Most of patients were young (from 18 to 47 years old).
CONCLUSION: We draw the attention of eye specialists of the frequency of panophthalmitis without exogenous apparent cause in HIV patients. It would be interesting to perform a transvitreal needle biopsy in order to search for intraocular toxoplasmosis that should be the first cause.
