Note.—OD indicates oculus dexter (right eye); ORN, outer retinal necrosis; OS, oculus sinister (left eye); NO, not obtained.
* T4/T8 ratio of 126/16, used for prognosis prior to the establishment of CD4 subtypes.
† WBC count was recorded only as “below normal” in the obtainable records.
‡ Lumbar puncture was traumatic, and samples grew skin contaminants after 3 days.
