Development of the Hiv-Incidenz in Central Africa - A study on the eyeclinic of Baffoussam / Kamerun
Herz E.
Acha Augenklinik Bafoussam, Kamerun
Background: The incidence of HIV in the last years was increasing
enormously. Mostly the dates are quite different because serological cross
section studies are not possible. Therefore the aim of the study was to
examine the patients of a leading eye clinic of the region for HIV by
serological testing.
Methods: Three groups of patients were tested: 1. patients for
cataract surgery from at age 20 to 60 years, 2. ophthalmologic outpatients
suffering from a disease suspect for HIV and 3. Patients from the general
ambulance of the eye clinic showing symptoms for suspect HIV.
Results: In the 1220 tested patients were X from group1, Y from
group 2 and Z from group 3. In the group 1 were 12 (x %) in the group
2 were 85 (y %) and in the group 3 showed 188 (z%) positive serological
results.
Conclusions: The results are not complete represent but a sign
for the incidence of HIV in the population. The incidence has to be ordered
between the groups 1 and 3. Because of the prolonged serologic answer
the level seems to bee surely higher. This must taken into consideration
for diagnosing eye diseases performing ophthalmic surgical procedures.
