Abstract
The presentation excerpted here was given at the Cleveland Clinic's Second Annual Update on the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome in May 1989. At that time, the numbers herein were current. Since then, the number of reported cases of AIDS in the United States has surpassed 120,000, and includes more than 2,000 children; the number of American deaths from AIDS has exceeded those occurring as a result of the Vietnam war; and AZT has been recommended for use in both mildly asymptomatic and asymptomatic HIV-infected persons.
