AB OBJECTIVE: To determine trends of initial clinical entities in AIDS
patients (1983 and 1993) and analyse impact of different definitions.
METHODS: AIDS cases registry was analysed. RESULTS: Trends of clinical
entities are as follows: TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. During
1983-84 the definition in use was that of CDC1985. In 1988 the WHO 1987
definition was adopted; including wasting, neurological abnormalities
and Tb (both pulmonary and extrapulmonary). In 1993, WHO definition was
adopted including cervouterine cancer and recurrent pneumoniae.
DISCUSSION: Wasting, syndrome, Tb and other infections have become
predominant manifestations SK and PCP have decreased proportionally. Tb
was underestimated in the initial phase of the epidemic. Stabilization
after 1988 correlated with the high prevalence of Tb in Mexico. Increase
in wasting between 1988-1993 is real and reflects multifactorial causes.
