We report on three patients whose clinical presentation and laboratory findings were similar to those of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AILD). The pathology findings in the lymph nodes were characterized by enlarged lymph follicles, a massive plasma cell infiltration, and marked vascularization. These morphologic

The acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) was first reported in 1981 in homosexual men. Since then, it has shown an alarming increase in frequency. The syndrome has now been described in other population groups as well, in particular in persons with haemophilia who are exposed to frequent parenteral injections of
Only one case of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been conclusively documented in Australia despite a large at-risk population and the endemic nature of the syndrome in the United States . In this article, the cases of two homose

The first Australian case of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), which occurred in a 27-year-old homosexual man, is reported. The patient, an American citizen now resident in Sydney, presented with life-threatening pulmonary consolidation. AIDS is characterized by severe defects in cell-mediated immunity assoc

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS, is a new illness that occurs in previously healthy individuals. It is characterized by immunodeficiency, opportunistic infections and unusual malignant diseases. Life-threatening single or multiple infections with viruses, mycobacteria, fungi or protozoa are common. A rare
Fifty patients with early stages of herpes zoster (23 patients with the ophthalmic form and 27 with other localizations of the lesion) were treated with levamisol, since it was assumed that the disease is caused by the activation of the varicellazoster virus in association with cellular immunodeficiency. The control g
Asymptomatic hemophilia patients receiving Factor VIII concentrate were found to have normal natural killer (NK) cells and B cells, and an inverted T helper/suppressor ratio due to an increase in cells of T suppressor phenotype. In contrast, a hemophilia patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) exhibite
Two homosexual males with the gay bowel syndrome experienced an acute unilateral loss of vision. Both patients had white intraretinal lesions, which became confluent. One of the cases had a depressed cell-mediated immunity; both patients ultimately died after a prolonged illness. In one patient
Circulating maternal T cells were sought in a child with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and no evidence of acute graft-vs-host disease, but who had small numbers (9 to 11%) of circulating T3-positive cells. HLA typing of unfractionated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and of isolated E rosette-forming cells
Natural killer cells capable of lysing herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-infected fibroblasts were studied in three groups of patients unusually susceptible to severe herpes-virus infections. Cord blood was evaluated because of the known susceptibility of neonates to disseminated infections due to herpes simplex vir
In vivo and in vitro humoral and cellular immune responses were studied in a 2 1/2-year-old girl immediately before, during, and after an asymptomatic infection with Epstein-Barr virus. During the acute EBV infection, the patient s peripheral blood mononuclear cells were deficient in immunoglobulin synthesis and suppr
The transforming protein of a primate sarcoma virus and a platelet-derived growth factor are derived from the same or closely related cellular genes. This conclusion is based on the demonstration of extensive sequence similarity between the transforming protein derived from the simian sarcoma virus onc gene, v-sis, an

A 31-year-old Frenchman had an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with profound depression of cellular immunity and relative sparing of humoral immunity. The clinical picture included intractable secretory diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Gastrointestinal cryptosporidiosis was present and a

13 adenoviruses (Ad) from the urine of 10 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were characterised by haemagglutination inhibition and restriction endonuclease analysis of their DNA. The haemagglutinin (HA) for 6 of these isolates was found to be that of Ad34/35. 3 other isolates were found to have A
A recently recognized syndrome of acquired immunodeficiency (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome-AIDS) has arisen since June 1981. It has received international attention. The clinical spectrum consists of repeated opportunistic infections, rare malignancies, and autoimmune phenomena, occurring in previously healthy ad
