Abstract | Samples from the ocular conjunctiva of 23 patients with AIDS, 24 patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and 48 immunocompetent individuals were taken during the months of February, April, July and October. During the year an increase in fungi of the conjunctiva of the AIDS patients, followed by patients infected with HIV and a smaller percentage in healtly people was observed. The most frequently isolated fungus was Penicillium sp followed by Aspergillus sp, Candida sp and Rhodotorula sp. Foi pesquisada a presença de fungos na conjuntiva ocular de 23 pacientes com AIDS, 24 pacientes infectados pelo HIV, ambos de controle ambulatorial e 48 indivíduos HIV negativos, durante um ano, nos meses de fevereiro, abril, julho e outubro. O fungo mais isolado foi Penicillium sp, seguido de Aspergillus sp, Candida sp e Rhodotorula sp. Embora sem diferença significante, em todas as coletas foi verificado um crescimento maior de fungos na conjuntiva dos portadores de AIDS, seguido pelo grupo infectado pelo HIV e em menor número nos indivíduos HIV-negativos. |
