Abstract
A case of acute annular outer retinopathy (AAOR) is presented in a patient that was later proved to be positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The aetiology of AAOR remains unknown, although a viral infection or an autoimmune mechanism has been suggested. The case presented here is noteworthy because it is the first case described in a patient with HIV positive serology. Even so, the precise role played by HIV infection or secondary immunosuppression in the development of the AAOR is not known.
