|
Opportunistic infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in persons infected with HIV. In recent years, antiretroviral treatment (ART) and prophylaxis against various other opportunistic infections have contributed to a decrease in AIDS-related mortality. This team conducted a study of HIV infected inpatients at one centre to study the various factors contributing to mortality in HIV/AIDS patients and to study the role of antiretroviral drugs in increasing longevity.

| Microbiological Diagnosis of Endophthalmitis |
| |
|
These data suggest that in all cases of suspected endophthalmitis, the vitreous should be sampled either by vitreous aspiration or diagnostic vitrectomy as it is possible that bacteria are more protected in the vitreous humour than aqueous. Vitrectomy fluid appears to be the best sample for culture from clinically diagnosed endophthalmitis cases. Picture by darkpatator
