Conjunctival non-caseating granulomas in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patient attributed to sarcoidosis. Ocular immunology and inflammation, 2006, Volume: 14, Issue:5 To report a rare case of isolated ocular sarcoidosis in an HIV positive patient.. Case report.. A 47-year-old HIV+ Caucasian male was referred for chronic bilateral follicular conjunctivitis.. A conjunctival biopsy that was performed on the right eye showed sarcoidosis. General medical evaluation including a spiral thin cut chest CT scan revealed no systemic involvement. The ocular signs and symptoms resolved completely with topical corticosteroid treatment.. HIV infection and sarcoidosis rarely coexist, presumably because their immunopathogenesis mechanisms diverge. In the absence of systemic involvement, a definite diagnosis can only be made by biopsy of the ocular tissues. Topics: Administration, Topical; Androstadienes; Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active; CD4 Lymphocyte Count; Conjunctival Diseases; Glucocorticoids; Granuloma; HIV Infections; Humans; Loteprednol Etabonate; Male; Middle Aged; Sarcoidosis	2006
