Description
In September 1987, a seroprevalence study of HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection was conducted among 956 people from different groups in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Groups examined were hospitalized patients (Internal Medicine and infectious Disease Departments, Centre Hospitaller Universitaire de Treichvllle, Abidjan), outpatients at tuberculosis treatment centers, blood donors, women attending an antenatal clinic, and patients attending sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. Total HiV infection prevalence ranged from 10% in STD clinic patients and pregnant women to 45% in hospitalized patients on an Infectious diseases service. Within groups, HIV-1 infection was 2-6.5 times more prevalent than Infection with HIV-2. One-quarter of HIV-seropositive people were serologically reactive to both HIV-1 and HIV-2 on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot. Clinical conditions previously observed in patients with HIV-1 Infection were observed in people Infected with HIV-2 only, as well as in those with HIV-1 infection and dual serologic reactivity. An isolate of HIV-2 was obtained on culture from a person with wasting disease and chronic fever. The results of this study suggest that infection with HIV-1 and HIV-2 is epidemic In Côte d'Ivoire, and that HIV-2 may be associated with AIDS. © 1989, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.
