Matoba y otros (p. 451) observaron una queratopatía dendriforme asociada con una exposición tópica oftálmica al preservante poliquaternium-1 (PQ-1). Para esta serie de casos, los investigadores revisaron las historias de 16 pacientes expuestos a PQ-1 ya fuera debido al uso de soluciones desinfectantes para lentes de contacto (n = 13) o productos de lágrimas artificiales (n = 3). Todos los pacientes experimentaron resolución de las lesiones dendriformes en el término de 2 a 6 semanas después de la eliminación de su exposición a PQ-1.

A 41-year-old man with AIDS presented with decreased vision in the left eye; he denied other symptoms. Medications included efavirenz, tenofovir, and emtricitabine, and his CD4 cell count was 31 cells/μL.

Examination of the left eye showed minimal inflammation in the anterior chamber and vitreous. Ophthalmoscopy showed hemorrhagic papillitis, retinal necrosis, hemorrhage, and diffuse vascular sheathing.
