Susceptibility to toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis is associated with HLA alleles reported to be implicated with rapid progression to AIDS.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND/AIMS:The frequency of HLA markers associated with rapid progression to AIDS was evaluated in Brazilian patients with AIDS exhibiting or not toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis (TRC). METHODS:98 AIDS patients (25 with TRC, 43 with anti-T. gondii antibodies but without TCR, and 30 without anti-T. gondii antibodies and without TCR) were studied. RESULTS:The HLA-B35 was significantly increased in TRC group (p=0.0038). CONCLUSION:The presence of HLA-B35 may simultaneously predispose to progression to AIDS and TRC.
