[Home care service: a need for AIDS patients. Epidemiological and economical data].
The Authors present epidemiological and economic data, to demonstrate that in Bologna and in Emilia Romagna region the home care service is an important instrument to treat AIDS patients and in particular those who have psychological and social problems as the drug abusers. There are human, social, sanitary and economic reasons to realize an integrate home care assistance according to the law 135/1990. The serious epidemiological situation of Emilia Romagna strongly induces to apply the guidelines for the home care service in the city where they haven't been realized and to extend the program where it's inadequate.
