title: [Infection by the human immunodeficiency virus in the elderly. Presentation of 13 cases].
abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe the clinical characteristics of the infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 13 aged patients with more than 60 years of age. In all the cases, the first clinical manifestation causing the visit to the doctor was an opportunistic infection with criteria of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), standing out the low CD4 rate in all the patients, a delay in the diagnosis and a short survival.
