[Clinical analysis of 4 Chinese hemophiliacs with human immunodeficiency virus infection]
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-is) now considered the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS). A high risk of AIDS has been reported among patients with hemophilia who received lyophilized commercial factor VIII and IX concentrates of American origin. In a prevalence survey conducted from September to December 1985, HIV antibodies were found in all the 4 patients with hemophilia treated with the batch number W87307, 955 I.U. of American commercial factor VIII concentrate supplied by Armour pharmaceutical Company U.S.A. One of the seropositive patients developed AIDS-related complex (ARC) and died of cerebral hemorrhage. The other three sero-positive patients had abnormalities in cell mediated immunity; among them two developed left lumbosacral radiculopathy and hemorrhagic herpes zoster and one remains well so far.
