Abstract: The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome has now been reported among more diverse groups of patients, and as each new category of patients is described, additional epidemiological and pathological insights are gained. Adult non-Haitian women with AIDS have so far generally been reported to have had male partners who have AIDS, are intravenous drug users or both. The present case is being reported because she was a non-Haitian, who did not use drugs and denied sexual contact with men. Pathologic and clinical findings in this case are consistent with AIDS and include: early generalized lymphadenopathy, pronounced lymphocytopenia, fever, hepatosplenomegaly, Kaposi's disease present, in lymph nodes, disseminated candidiasis, anergy to skin testing for delayed hypersensitivity reactions.
