一种用于预测带艾滋病毒患者何时发病的有潜力的标志可能已被发现。纽约医院-康乃尔医疗中心(纽约)的研究人员说,在感染了艾滋病毒的患者呈现艾滋或与艾滋病有关的综合症状(ARC)之前的6～12个月,患者体内的抗逆转录酶消失了(逆转录酶是一种用于催化艾滋病毒复制的酶)。该研究小组研究了16名带有这种病毒但无临床症状的患者、12名出现艾滋病或 ARC 的患者和8名血清阴性对照者。其结果是:8名对照者中没有一人出现抗逆转录酶抗体。而12名艾滋病/ARC 患者中的2名和16名无症状的血清阳性者中的10名,出观了抗逆转录酶抗体。
A potential marker for predicting when patients with HIV develop the disease may have been discovered. Researchers at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center (New York) say that the antiretrovirals in patients disappear 6 to 12 months prior to HIV or AIDS-related complex (ARC) in HIV-infected patients (Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme used to catalyze HIV replication). The team studied 16 patients with this virus but no clinical symptoms, 12 patients with AIDS or ARC and 8 seronegative controls. As a result, none of the eight controls showed an anti-retroviral antibody. The anti-retroviral antibody was present in 10 of 12 AIDS / ARC patients and 10 of 16 asymptomatic seropositive patients.
