Abstract
We present a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with bi lateral sequential optic neuropathies attributed to the 14484 mutation of L eber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). We discuss the potential interacti on of the mitochondrial mutation with antiretroviral therapy and review the literature.
