    Notes: Abstract Twenty-nine patients with the AIDS Related Complex (ARC) were studied retrospectively. Cotton-wool spots (CWSs) were the main ophthalmological finding, present in 9 patients (31%) at this stage of the disease. The CWSs were asymptomatic and were therefore discovered during a routine examination. The proportion of patients with significant weight loss was greater among ARC patients with CWSs than among those with normal fundi. Leukocyte counts were found to be significantly lower (p = 0.03, odds ratio 10.0 [1.24 to 80.4])among ARC patients with CWSs. Lymphocyte counts and the CD4/CD8 ratio were also found to be diminished in these patients. Among the nine patients with CWSs during ARC, seven developped major opportunistic infections or HIV (Human Immunodefiency Virus) related neoplasias during the following months (3.8 ± 3.5 months). These findings are consistent with a poorer prognosis for HIV infected patients who have CWSs.

    Eosinophilic gastroenteritis presenting with colitis and cholangitis (1995)
    Springer
    Digestive diseases and sciences 40 (1995), S. 308-314

    Notes: Summary Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) is a rare condition that most commonly affects the stomach and intestine. Large bowel involvement has also been described. We report a case of EG presenting with colitis and cholangitis. This is the first case of associated cholangitis demonstrated radiologically and histologically. Simultaneous biliary and gastrointestinal tract involvement suggest a common link between EG and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). However, HES requires high peripheral hypereosinophilia and several organs including gastrointestinal tract, lung, heart, infiltrated with eosinophils. The patient's condition improved with corticosteroids.
