 AB    We are observing a patient who is HIV positive since 1987 and in 1992 he
       got sick of AIDS. The first ophthalmologist symptom of the illness was a
       blurred disc margin of the optic nervehead with minor peripapillary
       hemorrhages and reduction of his visual acuity. After two months the
       condition of the fundus has improved but on the eyelash in the nasal
       half a Kaposi sarcoma is emerging. After six month of being sick of AIDS
       we are observing a reduction of visual acuity on the left eye and we
       diagnosed a Cytomegalic viral retinitis which is also confirmed
       serologically. Inspite of the treatment by Gancyclovir his condition is
       not improving and minor hemorrhages as well as microaneurysms are
       emerging also in macular area of the right eye.
