The haematological variables measured by automated full blood count in matched homosexual and heterosexual men attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases (STD) were compared with those of normal controls and patients infected with the human T lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III). Homosexual and heterosexual men were statistically identical for all variables, but both differed noticeably from patients with clinical diagnoses of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS related disease. A full blood count as a screening test for AIDS is only interpretable in the context of clinical assessment.
对到性传播疾病(STD)门诊就诊的配对同性恋和异性恋男性,通过自动全血细胞计数所测得的血液学变量,与正常对照以及感染人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒III型(HTLV-III)的患者进行了比较。同性恋和异性恋男性在所有变量上在统计学上并无差异,但二者均与临床诊断为获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)或AIDS相关疾病的患者有显著差异。全血细胞计数作为AIDS的筛查试验,只有在临床评估的背景下才可解读。
