[Bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation associated with systemic carcinoma: two case reports].

Diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome resulting in rapid bilateral visual loss in patients with systemic carcinoma, caused by proliferation of benign melanocytes within the choroid and the ciliary body. More often visual impairment is due to retinal detachment and cataract. The authors report two cases of presumed diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation.

[Cytomegalovirus retinitis despite normal CD4 levels in an HIV patient. Report of a case].

We report the case of a 54-year-old HIV-seropositive man who was referred to us with unilateral uveitis. The patient had been taking triple antiretroviral therapy (three reverse transcriptase inhibitors) for one week when he presented with blurring of vision in the left eye. Two weeks later, active cytomegalovirus retinitis was suspected after fundus examination and ganciclovir was immediately administered.
