title: [The frequency of patients with positive HIV-antibody in the various groups and the prognosis of these patients treated with SNMC].
abstract: Among 300 patients receiving blood and/or blood products because of blood disorders, 3 (1%) were positive for HIV by ELISA. However, 3 patients were thought to be false positive because they had received bolus injection of gamma-globulin and their serum became negative after 6 months. Moreover, no viral inclusion or HIV-antigen was detected. In 30 patients with hemophilia and related disorders, 21 (70%) were positive by ELISA, Immunofluorescence, Passive-agglutination and Western Blot method. Immunodeficiency, as reflected by decreases of CD 4/8 ratio and NK activity, was successfully treated with high-dose of Stronger Neo-Minophagen C.
