In Montreal the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) was seen in eight Haitian immigrants and one Caucasian woman who had lived with Haitian immigrants for 3 years before the onset of her illness. AIDS was characterized by opportunistic infections alone in seven patients, by opportunistic infection and Kaposi s
Although once regarded exclusively as an animal parasite, Cryptosporidium has emerged during the last decade as a cause of diarrhea in humans. Of the 43 cases of human cryptosporidiosis reported, 27 patients in whom either humoral or cell-mediated immune defects were present had chronic protracted diarrhea that was al
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a newly recognized disease of unknown etiology, characterized by deregulation of the cell-mediated immune function system and manifested by opportunistic infections, unusual neoplasms (particularly Kaposi s sarcoma) in previously healthy persons.

To our knowledge, we report the first case of a homosexually active man with severe hemophilia A in whom acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) developed. Alterations in cell-mediated immunoregulation and development of AIDS have been described in both healthy homosexually active men and heterosexual men with hemop

During a three-year period (1979 to 1982), 248 cytology specimens were obtained from 38 homosexual males who were admitted for treatment and had a variety of nonspecific symptoms, such as general malaise and weight loss.

The acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is characterized by the occurrence, in a subject under 60, of Kaposi s sarcoma and/or severe opportunistic infection due to deficiency of the normal cell-mediated immune defence mechanism against the causative agents. In a number of patients, AIDS is preceded by fever, we

The immunological relationship of human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV) and the virus found in Japanese adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) was investigated in detail by testing the specific binding of serum antibodies from Japanese ATL patients and normal Japanese donors to the purified HTLV proteins p24, p19,

A patient with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome experienced pancytopenia during the course of his illness. At the time of maximum depression of the blood cell counts, the hematocrit value was 21%; the WBC count, 1,000/cu mm; and the platelet count, 27,000/cu mm. Lymphopenia was persistent but the number of juve
Whole cells of cellular DNA from leukemia patients were used in blot hybridization to cloned probes of a human retrovirus HTLV. The results demonstrated the facility of screening large numbers of samples of limited material for the presence of low copy number of HTLV sequences.

A unique human retrovirus (human T-cell leukemia virus type II, HTLV-II), isolated from a patient with a T-cell variant of hairy-cell leukemia, has been shown to be distinct from the more common isolates of human T-cell leukemia virus. This virus was tested for its ability to transform normal human peripheral blood ly

Recently 10 T-cell lines were established from patients with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). During establishment of these cell lines, it was found that when T-cell lines expressing the ATL-associated retroviral antigen were cocultivated with 8C cat cells, multinucleated syncytia were formed.
