The surveillance of cases of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the United Kingdom is described and a preliminary analysis made of the 1012 cases that were reported to the end of August 1987. Homosexuals were the largest risk group. For the first time it is possible to present cases by the date of diagnosis and by the regional health authority of residence. The rate of increase of new cases shows no sign of slowing down. One third of patients with AIDS lived in a different regional health authority from that in which their disease had been diagnosed. The geographical distribution varied with the risk group. The commonest presenting clinical feature at diagnosis was Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Kaposi's sarcoma was considerably more common among homosexuals than among people in other groups at risk.
本文描述了英国获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）病例的监测情况，并对截至1987年8月底报告的1012例病例进行了初步分析。同性恋者是最大的风险群体。首次能够按诊断日期和居住地区卫生当局来呈现病例。新病例的增加速度没有放缓的迹象。三分之一的艾滋病患者居住在与其疾病诊断所在地区不同的地区卫生当局辖区。地理分布因风险群体而异。诊断时最常见的临床特征是卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎。卡波西肉瘤在同性恋者中比在其他风险群体中更为常见。
