Four Ugandan patients (1 women, 3 men) with generalized Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) were seen in the Uganda Cancer Institute between October 1983 and December 1984. They presented with generalized lymphadenopathy, plaques/nodules on the body, general swelling of the head, oral and visceral involvement and respiratory distress. Initial responses to adriamycin as a single or a combination chemotherapy of actinomycin D, vincristine, adriamycin and imidazole carboxamide appeared to be favourable but no sustained response was obtained. Serological tests for human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV-II) antibodies were positive in all 4 cases.
1983年10月至1984年12月期间，乌干达癌症研究所接待了4名患有全身性卡波西肉瘤（KS）的患者（1名女性，3名男性）。他们表现为全身性淋巴结肿大、身体上出现斑块/结节、头部普遍肿胀、口腔和内脏受累以及呼吸窘迫。作为单一化疗药物或与放线菌素D、长春新碱、阿霉素和咪唑甲酰胺联合化疗时，阿霉素的初始反应似乎良好，但未获得持续缓解。所有4例患者的人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒（HTLV-II）抗体血清学检测均为阳性。
