| Abstract |
We present a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with bilateral sequential optic neuropathies attributed to the 14484 mutation of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). We discuss the potential interaction of the mitochondrial mutation with antiretroviral therapy and review the literature. |
