已知获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)及其前驱期或轻型淋巴结病综合征(LAS)与人类嗜T淋巴细胞逆转录病毒(HTLV-Ⅲ)或淋巴结病相关病毒感染有关。同性恋男子和毒品成瘾者更容易染上AIDS和LAS。这种病虽可能、但很少经输血感染,大多发生于那些接受混合凝血因子浓缩物的血友病者。 HTLV-Ⅲ抗体通常存在于AIDS或LAS患者血 It is known that acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and its prodromal or light-onset lymphadenopathy syndrome (LAS) are associated with human T-Lymphocyte Retrovirus (HTLV-III) or lymphadenopathy-associated viral infections. Gay men and drug addicts are more likely to get AIDS and LAS. The disease is unlikely, but rarely transfusion-infected, most of those with hemophilia who receive mixed coagulation factor concentrates. HTLV-III antibodies are commonly found in AIDS or LAS patients
