Abstract:
The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is characterized by severe abnormalities of cellular immunity with a marked reduction of helper/inducer T lymphocyte from peripheral blood and, clinically, by a high incidence of infection caused by opportunistic or more common pathogen organisms and by development of Kaposi's sarcoma in previously healthy young patients. The AA. underline epidemiologic, pathogenetic and immunologic points of this syndrome.
