Abstract
Vitro Retinal manifestations are extremely common and varied in HIV infected patients. The present study was done to know the overall prevalence of Vitro Retinal manifestations in HIV infected patients and to know the frequency of individual manifestations. A total of 150 HIV seropositive patients attending MRCEH hospital, Mysore were included in the study. Detailed history, thorough physical examination and relevant investigations were done to confirm the Vitro Retinal manifestations. Out of 150 HIV positives, 70 cases amounting to 46.67% had Vitro Retinal manifestations in present study. Majority (71.42%) of the patients belonged to the age group 21-50 years and male to female ratio was 2.18:1. CMV Retinitis was the most common (31.42%) manifestation.
