Review of Optometry - Is HIV to Blame for This Retinal Condition?(Brief Article)
A 36-year-old HIV-positive black male presented to the primary-care eye clinic. The primary-care physician at the community health center referred this patient to rule out CMV retinitis. He was first diagnosed with HIV five months prior when he was hospitalized with pneumonia.
The patient’s current list of systemic medications included Viracept (nelfinavir mesylate), Bactrim (trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole), Combivir (lamivudine and zidovudine), Viramune (nevirapine), ibuprofen and an iron supplement. He did not know his CD4 count or his viral load.
