Kaposi’s Sarcoma and AIDS: The Role of Interferons in Treatment

  • Chapter
Clinical Aspects of Interferons

Part of the book series: Developments in Medical Virology ((DIMV,volume 4))

Abstract

The term acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) refers to a disease complex encompassing a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations including characteristic infections and neoplasms. This manuscript describes the role of interferons in the treatment of the most common AIDS-associated tumor, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and discusses the potential role of interferons in the treatment or prevention of some of the opportunisitc infections associated with the syndrome. The rationale for therapeutic trials of interferon alpha, alone or in combination with other antiretroviral agents, to evaluate efficacy in the treatment of the underlying infection with the human immunodeficiency virus is also discussed.
