Immunologic studies in asymptomatic hemophilia patients. Relationship to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
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) exhibited nonfunctional NK cells, low B cells, and an inverted T helper/suppressor rat...
متن کاملHypothyroxinemia in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Serum thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were studied in 38 patients confirmed to be infected with HIV-1 virus and the results compared with values observed in age matched healthy subjects. The mean serum total T4 in the majority of the patients, 103 +/- 32 nmol/L, was similar to values observed in the controls, 102 +/- 21 nmol/L, p > 0.05. However, 22.2 pc of the HIV-1 infect...

Male homosexuals, drug addicts, Haitian immigrants, and hemophiliacs constitute the group at high risk o...
متن کاملImmunological studies in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
Defective cell-mediated immunity in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is manifested by a reduction of T-helper (TH) cells and an increase of T-suppressor (T,) cells in peripheral blood, by loss of normal T-cell responses to mitogens and antigens in vivo and in vitro, and by increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignancies.' Our immunological studies on a group ...
متن کاملDelay in Reporting Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (aids)
As of March 31, 1987, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control had reported 33,350 cases of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Yet by that date, physicians had actually diagnosed 42,670 cases. The difference arises from significant delays in the reporting of AIDS cases to public health authorities. An estimated 70% of cases are reported two or more months after diagnosis; about 23% are reported s...
