Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is discussed. While some cases have been reported in Europe, the majority of AIDS patients were Americans (95% men; 85% either homosexual or bisexual). Fatal pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii and Kaposi s sarcoma (KS) appeared in the same group of patients. Both disease

Recent developments in dermatology are reviewed. Reports have noted the occurrence of Kaposi s sarcoma, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, cutaneous candidiasis, and multiple virus infections among homosexuals. These disorders apparently result from an immunodeficiency. Topics under current study include the relationship
Changes in DNA synthesis rate were studied during the S-phase in the rat brain subependymal cells. The experimental data related to the distribution of cells depending on the silver grain count over nuclei were obtained from autoradiographs of the rat brain histological sections (5 mcm) during the first 4 hours after

The existence of specific probes for human genes makes it feasible to study genetic abnormalities, both inherited and acquired, at the level of the genome. In this respect, the antibody genes of man are of particular interest as they represent a multigene family expressed in many leukaemias and immunodeficiency diseas
Recently, increasing numbers of young homosexual men with a fulminant form of Kaposi s sarcoma have been described. We report herein a case of a young homosexual man with Kaposi s sarcoma, chronic perianal and nasolabial ulcerating herpes simplex infection, oral candidiasis, and immunodeficiency, presumably acquired.

We describe acquired immune deficiency manifested by opportunistic infections in 10 previously healthy heterosexual Haitian men. The opportunistic pathogens included Toxoplasma gondii (in four patients), Cryptococcus neoformans (in one), Pneumocystis carinii (in four patients), and Candida albicans (in three). Six of
Three cases of multiple opportunistic infections in previously healthy homosexual males were observed in 3 different University Hospitals in Switzerland . Two of the patients died. Infections were multiple, with P. carinii pneumonia (3 cases), chronic mucocutaneous ulcers proba
