The first AIDS patient was a homosexual male who contacted HIV infection in 1982 in Tanzania. In December 1985 the first sign of Kaposi's sarcoma was noted in this patient. HIV infection was diagnosed in him only in February 1987. He was treated with AZT, reaferon, immunoglobulin and underwent electronic therapy. His state of health was stable till February 1991. Then he got severe bacterial pneumonia, candidosis. Pancytopenia progressed. The dose of AZT (0.8 g daily) was increased and intensive antibiotic therapy and the course of diflucan were prescribed. In spite of this treatment the number of CD4 lymphocytes catastrophically decreased (CD4 = 0.01 x 10(9)/l) and the patient died. Thus, more than 63 months passed from the date of the appearance of the first symptoms of AIDS in the patient to his death.
