Four previously healthy Danish homosexual men developed Kaposi's sarcoma or opportunistic infections with fever of unknown origin and lymphadenopathy. One patient died of a Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Three patients had defective cell-mediated immunity with absent leucocyte interferon production and decreased proliferative response to mitogens and antigens. T lymphocyte helper subsets and natural killer cell activity were reduced. Unstimulated mononuclear cells produced leucocyte migration inhibitor factor. Two patients were sexual partners and three had never been to the USA, where cases of severe acquired immunodeficiency have been reported. Thus, the syndrome must also be suspected in European homosexual men who present with fever of unknown origin, opportunistic infections, or Kaposi's sarcoma.
四名先前健康的丹麦同性恋男子患上了卡波西肉瘤或出现了不明原因发热和淋巴结病的机会性感染。一名患者死于卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎。三名患者细胞介导免疫功能缺陷,白细胞干扰素产生缺失,对有丝分裂原和抗原的增殖反应降低。T淋巴细胞辅助亚群和自然杀伤细胞活性降低。未受刺激的单核细胞产生白细胞迁移抑制因子。两名患者是性伴侣,三名患者从未去过美国,而美国曾报告过严重获得性免疫缺陷病例。因此,对于出现不明原因发热、机会性感染或卡波西肉瘤的欧洲同性恋男子,也必须怀疑患有该综合征。
