title: Concentrations of magnesium, zinc and copper in serum of patients with acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome.
abstract: The concentrations of Mg, Zn, Cu and albumin, and pseudocholinesterase activity were measured in the sera of 31 AIDS patients, 27 belonging to group IVC1 and 4 to group IVC2. Mean values for all patients were within the normal ranges. Only two patients showed hypozincaemia. A correlation was found between the concentrations of serum zinc and albumin. The serum albumin concentration was correlated with the serum pseudocholinesterase activity.
