Abstract

A minor change in the pattern of Kaposi's sarcoma has been noticed in north-east Zaire. This is characterized by a small increase of the number of confirmed diagnoses, together with the appearance of the disease amongst women, who tend to be of a younger age group. These data suggests the appearance of a new aetiological factor in the area. From recent reports from other parts of Africa we speculate that this might be the appearance of HTLV-III virus.

摘要

在扎伊尔东北部，人们注意到卡波西肉瘤的发病模式有细微变化。其特点是确诊病例数略有增加，同时该疾病在女性中出现，且这些女性往往年龄较小。这些数据表明该地区出现了一种新的病因。根据非洲其他地区的最新报告，我们推测这可能是HTLV - III病毒的出现。
