Using ophthalmic examination records from January 2006 to November 2015, we retrospectively reviewed all patients who were diagnosed with HIV\/AIDS in our hospital. The study was performed at a tertiary referral center in southern Taiwan. Data included age, gender, ophthalmic examinations, systemic conditions, CD4 cell counts, course, and treatment. Eleven patients were identified as having AIDS with uveitis as their presenting manifestation. All were men, with a mean age of 39.5\u2009\u00b1\u200911.4 years (range 24\u201356). The mean CD4\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    T-cell counts were 91.7\u2009\u00b1\u200950.3 cells\/\u03bcl (range 27\u2013169). Ocular diagnoses included cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in five patients, ocular syphilis in four patients, and ocular toxoplasmosis in two patients. Uveitis resolved in all patients after medical treatment. However, a retinal detachment developed in two eyes in CMV retinitis and one eye in ocular syphilis. Ocular manifestations are among the most common clinical features in patients with HIV\/AIDS who have varying clinical presentations that affect almost all ocular structures. This study demonstrated that ocular findings could be an initial manifestation of an underlying disease. Awareness of ocular lesions in HIV\/AIDS is important for early recognition and management.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462417694569","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,16]],"date-time":"2017-02-16T00:00:58Z","timestamp":1487203258000},"page":"1224-1228","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Uveitis as an initial manifestation of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Chui-Lien","family":"Tsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shih-Chou","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yao-Shen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Medicine, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shwu-Jiuan","family":"Sheu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Medicine, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462417694569","unstructured":"World Health Organization, UNAIDS and UNICEF.\n                      Global HIV\/AIDS response: epidemic update and health sector progress towards Universal Access \u2013 Progress report\n                      .
