A patient with right exophthalmus due to exacerbation of relapsing sinusitis who had undergone bilateral radical paranasal sinus surgery in our hospital 6 months earlier visited us and was diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) after many tests. The patient was a 36-year-old male who had consorted with prostitutes. Esophageal candiditis and tumors of the liver and the colon were found. Blood tests showed a reduction in lymphocytes, particularly in T-cells and an CD4/CD8 ratio of 0.2. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) antibody titer was increased. Remission of exophthalmus came after therapy with steroids and antibiotics.
