title: Rheumatic disease and AIDS. An interesting but mysterious relationship.
abstract: Symptoms of rheumatic disease may be an indicator of HIV infection. In this article, Dr Golbus describes the spectrum of rheumatic syndromes in HIV-infected patients and how they differ from their idiopathic counterparts. His article brings a new perspective to the increasingly complex clinical picture of HIV infection and shows that very common complaints may be manifestations of HIV.
