[The prognostic significance of the clinical manifestations of HIV infection during seroconversion].
For the period 1990-1993, HIV infection in seroconversion was diagnosed in Russia in 21 cases. Of them, 16 patients had acute symptoms. Follow-up results are available for 12 patients in seroconversion who had either typical or obscure symptoms (6 and 6 patients, respectively). It is found that the disease progresses more rapidly in patients with the history of acute HIV infection in seroconversion manifesting with clear-cut typical symptoms of 4-week duration, at least. One patient from this group 3 years and 7 months after seroconversion developed Kaposi's sarcoma and candidiasis esophagitis which indicates the occurrence of AIDS stage IIIB.
