METHOD FOR PRECLINICAL DIAGNOSIS OF PATHOLOGY OF THE POSTERIOR SEGMENT OF THE EYE IN PATIENTS WITH HIV CO-INFECTION/TUBERCULOSIS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61B3/00 A61B8/00 A61B8/10 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine and namely to ophthalmology. Spectral optical coherence tomography is performed by means of which the caliber of the superior and inferior temporal arteries and veins, superior and inferior nasal arteries and veins at a distance of 0.5-0.75 of the disc diameter from the edge of the disc of the optic nerve is measured at least twice with an interval of one month. After that, the arteriovenous coefficients are measured, and if they are less than 0.8 and the difference in the values ​​of the corresponding temporal and nasal vessels is greater than or equal to 10% or the value is greater than or equal to 0.8, the development of the pathology of the posterior segment of the eye is predicted.

EFFECT: method reveals prognostically significant characteristics of retinal vessels, allowing diagnosing preclinical pathology of the posterior segment of the eye as accurately as possible in patients with HIV co-infection and tuberculosis.
