Patients And Methods: We have exhaustively revised the clinic records of all the 807 adult HIV-infected patients followed at the HUC from January 1985 to December 1999.

Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed liver enzyme levels in 112 patients with serious infections, excluding cases influenced by other causes.
- About 70% of patients showed altered liver enzyme values, with GGT having the highest prevalence at 39.1%.
- The findings indicated that these enzyme changes are nonspecific to the type of infection and bilirubin levels were notably higher in patients who did not survive, suggesting a possible common mechanism behind the changes.
