摘要:

Earlier this summer, the VIII International Conference on AIDS was held in Amsterdam, in conjunction with the Third World Congress on Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Hospital Practice Senior Editor Nancy Berezin attended the meeting and whatjollows is her report on some salient developments. Ms. Berezin also prepared a more impressionistic presentation of the International Conference that appears as the editorial in this issue.The Amsterdam meeting report also serves to introduce two articles on the current status of HN chemotherapy and of chemotherapy for the opportunistic diseases associated with HN injection. These articles are, in fact, revisions of articles previously published in Hospital Practice in 1991, revisions necessitated by the considerable progress made in therapy during the past year.

摘要:

The clinician's armamentarium is no longer limited to zidovudine as the only antiretroviral agent that enhances both quality and length of life, ddI has shown clinical benefit in patients previously treated with zidovudine. Recently, the combination of zidovudine and ddC has been approved on the basis of surrogate marker activity; its clinical role awaits results of ongoing trials.

摘要:

Infections and malignancies account for most deaths in patients with AIDS and will continue to do so as long as HIV-induced immunosuppression is progressive and irreversible. Co-trimoxazole has emerged as the preferred agent for prevention ofPneumocystis cariniipneumonia. As appropriate broad-spectrum agents are developed, multiple opportunistic pathogen prophylaxis could become effective.
