Abstract
These rifabutin-associated deposits differed from known rifabutin-associated deposits previously reported in the literature. These deposits have increased in pigmentation and density 5 years after the patient discontinued the drug. This case may represent another variation of rifabutin-associated endothelial deposits. Knowledge of human immunodeficiency virus and all the associated ocular findings (owing to both the condition and its treatment) is important, because the length of time patients are living with human immunodeficiency virus is increasing.
