Abstract
In 1981, in the United States, the observation of an unusual association of Kaposi’s sarcoma with several different severe infectious diseases, particularly Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and cytomegalovirus infections, defined a new syndrome.1–4 The Centers for Disease Control published the first clinical reports and noted that the syndrome occurred primarily in male homosexuals.1–3,5–8 This new syndrome was called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It consisted of the occurrence of one or several opportunistic infections, and sometimes Kaposi’s sarcoma, developing in subjects below 60 years of age without any evident cause of immunodeficiency.9 The disease was first described in male homosexuals,6–8,10 drug abusers,11,12 subjects born or having lived in Haiti or certain African countries as Zaire,13 and individuals undergoing repeated transfusions for various reasons such as hemophilia.14 Cases were later described in heterosexual women and in children of infected women. Finally, more recently, cases transmitted by a single blood transfusion have been reported.
