A 47-year old man presented with general malaise, pain in several joints and muscles, lymphadenopathy, livedo reticularis, an elevated sedimentation rate and mild pancytopenia. A positive ANF, anticardiolipin antibodies and circulating immune complexes raised suspicion of an autoimmune disease. A perivascular infiltrate in muscle and fascia was found, but a specific diagnosis could not be made. The patient appeared to be infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type I, with the cellular immunity already decreased. During treatment with zidovudine the symptoms and signs diminished, suggesting a causal relation between the HIV infection and this clinical presentation. The rheumatic manifestations and autoimmune phenomena with which HIV infection can be associated are discussed.
