title: Lymphadenopathy related to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in homosexual men.
abstract: Persistent generalized lymphadenopathy is a nonspecific physical finding common in AIDS and AIDS-related disorders. A subset of patients with a benign course and normal laboratory evaluation are at low risk for developing full-blown AIDS. Simple clinical and laboratory findings may predict progression from lymphadenopathy syndrome to more malignant manifestations of AIDS.
