Abstract: The AIDS epidemic has generated a new subspecialty of medicine combining elements of virology, infectious diseases, oncology, dermatology, neurology, epidemiology, psychiatry, and the social sciences. The AIDS Clinical Review series aims to provide up-to-date information of benefit to these clinicians. The present volume, which is the second in the series, covers the following topics: occupational transmission of HIV (ethics of physician risk and responsibility), epidemiologic trends of AIDS in the United States in the context of the 1987 revision of the case definition, race/gender issues in the sexual transmission of AIDS, predictors of HIV disease progression, oral lesions of HIV infections (features and therapy), pathogenesis and treatment of HIV-related immune thrombocytopenia, AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma, advances in the diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, ganciclovir therapy for opportunistic cytomegalovirus disease in AIDS, disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex infection, cryptococcal disease in AIDS, toxoplasmic encephalitis, and new developments in antiretroviral drug therapy for patients with HIV infections.
