pubmed:abstractText |
A 38-year-old woman resident of Ivory Coast died of AIDS, while remaining human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seronegative. She had been regularly tested because her husband was HIV-seropositive. The subject's lack of specific antibodies was assessed using commercial tests and confirmed by a radioimmunoprecipitation assay of the patient's virus. She was unquestionably HIV-1-infected, with a high plasma virus load, and her virus could be isolated. Molecular analyses indicated this retrovirus was clade A, which is common in Africa, and it was highly homologous to the virus isolated from her husband. The subject's seronegative status was thought to be due to rapid depletion of specific CD4+ helper T cells, resulting from accelerated disease progression, and was host-related rather than due to a specific HIV strain.
