Abstract: Numerous clinical and immunological manifestations are commonly observed in AIDS patients. Among these, Kaposi's sarcoma and major opportunistic infections appear today as clinical markers of the disease. Other signs and symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, lymphadenopathy and immunological abnormalities are currently recognized as associated disorders. One of the main problems faced by clinicians is to evaluate the significance of these associated abnormalities, especially when they occur in at risk populations. Much work is still needed to clarify whether they actually imply an individual predisposition to contract the disease, a minor form or some early stage of AIDS.
