title: [HIV infection in the Warsaw Clinic of Infectious Hepatology].
abstract: An epidemiological survey of patients in the Warsaw Clinic of Infectious Hepatology, the Polish National Center of AIDS Control, has been made. The epidemiological evaluation of risk groups and the age of HIV-infected persons has revealed that in Poland they are similar to those in Europe and in the USA (homosexuals and addicts aged 26-30 years). In 12% of the hospitalized patients the full clinical picture of AIDS, in 11.3% pre-AIDS (ARC) and in 58.1% lymphadenopathy (LAS) have been registered. In 18.4% of the patients only antibodies to HIV have been detected. The necessity of timely laboratory examinations for the determination of antibodies to HIV, whose presence may be signalled by any clinical symptom of the disease, has been shown.
