 AB    The ocular manifestations in 65 Japanese human immunodeficiency virus
       (HIV)-seropositive patients were examined. Based on the cumulative
       totals, 22 of the cases had acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),
       17 had AIDS-related complex (ARC), and 35 were asymptomatic carriers
       (AC), including 4 AIDS cases who had progressed from ARC and 5 ARC cases
       from AC. Seventy-seven percent of the AIDS cases had ocular
       manifestations, including cotton-wool spots (50%), retinal hemorrhages
       (59%), cytomegalovirus retinitis (46%) and pupil abnormalities (14%).
       The ocular signs were also seen in 71% of the ARC cases and 37% of the
       AC cases. In Japanese HIV-seropositive patients, ocular manifestations
       are also as common as in Western HIV-seropositive patients.
