During 1993, local, state, and territorial health departments reported 103,500 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases among persons aged > or = 13 years in the United States, an increase of 111% over the 49,016 reported in 1992 (Figure 1). This increase resulted from the expansion of the AIDS surveillance case definition in 1993*; in comparison, the number of cases based on the preexisting case definition decreased slightly. This report summarizes characteristics of persons reported with AIDS in 1993, compares these findings with data from 1992, and describes the impact of the change in the AIDS surveillance definition on AIDS case reporting.
1993年期间，美国地方、州和地区卫生部门报告了13岁及以上人群中的103,500例获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）病例，比1992年报告的49,016例增加了111%（图1）。这一增长是由于1993年艾滋病监测病例定义的扩大*；相比之下，基于原有病例定义的病例数量略有下降。本报告总结了1993年报告的艾滋病患者的特征，将这些结果与1992年的数据进行了比较，并描述了艾滋病监测定义的变化对艾滋病病例报告的影响。
