title: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
abstract: Pancytopenia is a well-recognized manifestation of clinical illness related to human immunodeficiency virus infection. The mechanism of this has been debated, but has been thought to relate either to a nonspecific marrow suppressive effect of opportunistic infections, or to direct involvement of bone marrow hematopoietic precursors as a target of human Immunodeficiency virus. We report the unique temporal association of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and paroxysmal nocturnal hemogloblnuria.
