AB AIDS cases diagnosed in Switzerland after the revision of 1987 and
reported to the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health until 31.12.1992
were categorised according to whether they conformed to the diagnostic
criteria valid before the revision (= pre-87-group) or only to the new
criteria introduced with the revision (= post-87-group). Compared to the
pre-87-group, the proportion of injecting drug users was higher, the
proportion of homosexual men was lower, the patients were younger and
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and Kaposi-sarcoma were diagnosed
less frequently in the post-87-group. The revision of the AIDS
case-definition affected the proportion of Aids-diagnoses with PCP over
time. It improved the surveillance of AIDS morbidity in Switzerland but
its effects must be distinguished from true phenomena of the
AIDS-epidemic.
