Meningococcemia: an undescribed
cause of community-acquired bacteremia in patients with acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-related complex. The Institute of Medicine (1986) cited a longitudinal
study which compared levels of distress in homosexuals and found that
those who suffered from AIDS-related complex (ARC) had greater
psychological problems. The MeSH headings grew with the terminology of the disease, with
the term AIDs-Related Complex established in 1987, terms for the family
of HIV Infections in 1990, and terms for HIV Antigens, HIV Antibodies,
HIV Envelope Protein GP120 and other concepts now available. |
