CITOMEGALOVIRUS Y PANUVETIS SIFILITICA OCULAR EN PACIENTE CON SIDA
La retinitis por citomegalovĂrus es una de las infecciones oculares oportunistas mĂĄs frecuente en los pacientes con SIDA con  cd4 bajo; sin tratamiento es inevitable la ceguera, la cual se manifiesta  en semanas o meses, debida a la afectaciĂłn retiniana extensa, desprendimiento de retina o atrofia Ăłptica.La sĂfilis es otra patologĂa que se asocia a infecciĂłn por VIH, se reporta sĂfilis secundaria en mayor porcentaje de los casos; siendo la uveĂtis por sĂfilis pleomĂłrfica, se presenta en la etapa secundaria. Las manifestaciones oculares mĂĄs frecuentes ocurren en el segmento posterior, se presentan en un 80 % de los casos en pacientes con SIDA.Se presenta el reporte de caso por encontrarse coinfeccion de sĂfilis y citomegalovĂrus en un paciente en estadio SIDA.Palabras clave: SIDA, Panuveitis sifilĂtica, Citomegalovirus Ocular
The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
The PREDICTS project-Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)-has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional statistical models of how local biodiversity responds to these measures. We describe and make freely available this 2016 release of the database, containing more than 3.2 million records sampled at over 26,000 locations and representing over 47,000 species. We outline how the database can help in answering a range of questions in ecology and conservation biology. To our knowledge, this is the largest and most geographically and taxonomically representative database of spatial comparisons of biodiversity that has been collated to date; it will be useful to researchers and international efforts wishing to model and understand the global status of biodiversity
