Only one case of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been conclusively documented in Australia despite a large at-risk population and the endemic nature of the syndrome in the United States. In this article, the cases of two homosexual men who had the clinical and laboratory features of a prodromal form of AIDS are presented. Such cases should serve to alert the medical profession and public health authorities to the possible existence of the syndrome in Australia.
尽管澳大利亚存在大量高危人群且该综合征在美国呈地方性流行,但澳大利亚仅确诊了一例获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)病例。本文介绍了两名具有艾滋病前驱症状临床和实验室特征的同性恋男性病例。此类病例应促使医学界和公共卫生当局警惕澳大利亚可能存在该综合征。
