Opportunistic infections and immune deficiency in homosexual men. 1982

D Mildvan, and U Mathur, and R W Enlow, and P L Romain, and R J Winchester, and C Colp, and H Singman, and B R Adelsberg, and I Spigland

A syndrome of opportunistic infections and acquired immune deficiency occurred among four previously healthy homosexual men. Fever, leukopenia, and diminished delayed hypersensitivity were accompanied by various degrees of proctitis, perianal ulcerations, and lymphadenopathy. The infectious agents included Pneumocystis carinii, Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida albicans, herpes simplex virus, and cytomegalovirus. The immune deficiency was characterized as a persistent and profound selective decrease in the function as well as number of T lymphocytes of the helper/inducer subset and a possible activation of the suppressor/cytotoxic subset. Three patients died despite aggressive anti-infective therapy.

D011020 Pneumonia, Pneumocystis A pulmonary disease in humans occurring in immunodeficient or malnourished patients or infants, characterized by DYSPNEA, tachypnea, and HYPOXEMIA. Pneumocystis pneumonia is a frequently seen opportunistic infection in AIDS. It is caused by the fungus PNEUMOCYSTIS JIROVECII. The disease is also found in other MAMMALS where it is caused by related species of Pneumocystis.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
