In the first seroepidemiological survey in Burundi in 1984, only 59 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases were recognized. We report here clinical surveillance of AIDS cases in the 4 hospitals in Bujumbura during a 4-month period in 1986. The project was combined with a seroprevalence study of pregnant women in the 6 dispensaries in Bujumbura. 258 AIDS patients were recorded. 16% of the 925 pregnant women were seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The clinical characteristics of 120 adult AIDS patients were similar to those reported in Kinshasa or Kigali. From demographic findings we presume that the major mode of HIV transmission in Bujumbura is by sexual contact. The results of this study formed the starting point of prevention activities against AIDS in Burundi.
1984年在布隆迪进行的首次血清流行病学调查中，仅确认了59例获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）病例。我们在此报告1986年4个月期间布琼布拉4家医院对艾滋病病例的临床监测情况。该项目与布琼布拉6家诊所对孕妇的血清流行率研究相结合。共记录了258例艾滋病患者。在925名孕妇中，16%的人人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）血清呈阳性。120例成年艾滋病患者的临床特征与在金沙萨或基加利报告的情况相似。从人口统计学调查结果来看，我们推测布琼布拉HIV传播的主要方式是性接触。这项研究的结果成为布隆迪艾滋病预防活动的起点。
