Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Ophthalmic manifestations in ambulatory patients.
Twenty-five ambulatory patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were studied over a 6-month period. Fourteen (56%) of the patients were heterosexuals with a history of intravenous drug abuse. Ocular involvement was seen in 40% of patients, cotton-wool spots being the major manifestation. Findings consistent with cytomegalovirus retinitis were seen in only one patient. Ophthalmologists should be aware of the ocular findings and epidemiology of AIDS.

Septic submacular choroidal embolus associated with intravenous drug abuse.
A 34-year-old male intravenous drug abuser had acute monocular loss of central vision nine days after fundus examination that had given normal results. He had a presumed septic submacular choroidal embolus in association with septic retinitis. No organism was recovered from the blood cultures. The lesion resolved with a residual chorioretinal scar in the macula and permanent loss of central vision.
