Case report of lymph nodal, hepatic and splenic tuberculosis in an HIV-positive patient.

We describe a case of a male patient, 38 years old, HIV-positive (most recent CD4 count about 259/mm(3)), with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, weight loss, and vespertine high fever with chills. His hemogram showed normocytic and normochromic anemia, with a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and gross granulations in the neutrophils. Transaminases were normal.

Influence of first-wave derived T lymphocytes in the long term functional reconstitution of allogeneic T cell deficient hosts.

The functional immunological reconstitution and the patterns of cytokine secretion were comparatively studied in BALB/c nu/nu mice grafted with allogeneic B6.Thy-1.1+ E14 or E18 embryonic thymus.
