The paper presents the case of a 6 and a half year-old child, with marked hipotrophy in height and weight (15 kg weight, which make a deficit of about 6 kg). The right eye presented pupilar sinekies, loaded vitreous and two white-yellow exsudative coroidal placards. One of them was inter-maculo-papilar having 4DP in diameter, difuse margins and aspect, the other was infero-macular. The right eye vision was only 2/50 n.c. The child also presented cronical labial herpes and interstiţial pneumony. The ELISA test (+) confirmed the HIV suspicion. The paper insisted on the herpetical ethiology of the corio-retineal exsudative lesions.
