[AIDS and associated syndromes: clinical manifestations]
Abstract:
Numerous clinical and immunological manifestations are commonly observed in AIDS patients. Among these, Kaposi's sarcoma and major opportunistic infections appear today as clinical "markers" of the disease. Other signs and symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, lymphadenopathy and immunological abnormalities are currently recognized as "associated" disorders. One of the main problems faced by clinicians is to evaluate the significance of these "associated" abnormalities, especially when they occur in at risk populations. Much work is still needed to clarify whether they actually imply an individual predisposition to contract the disease, a minor form or some early stage of AIDS.
