A 35-year-old white man presented to the Department of Dermatology in Belgrade in January 1993 with a 4-week history of a gradually enlarging, painless, centrally ulcerated nodule on the neck. He also complained of malaise, fatigue, and weight loss, but other symptoms were denied. Medications at the time of presentation included isoniazid, dapsone-pyrimethamine, fluconazole, and dideoxyinosine (ddl). The patient had no history of homosexuality, but did have a long history of intravenous drug abuse. He was diagnosed as having an asymptomatic mv infection in January 1988 (CDC-II). Positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for HIV-1 was confirmed by Western blot. In November 1989, tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis, confirmed by lymph node biopsy, was diagnosed. His chest film was clear and an abdominal ultrasound examination revealed mild hepatosplenomegaly without retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. He had no symptoms or signs of any other organ or system involvement. According to the revised Centers for Disease Control (CDC) case definition for AIDS (1987),' the patient fulfilled the criteria for the diagnosis of AIDS (CDC IV C). He responded well to standard triple antituberculosis treatment (INH, rifampin, ethambutol) and after 9 months remained on prophylactic INH, 300 mg daily. In March 1990, he developed oral candidosis that was well controlled by oral ketoconazole. In December 1990, his CD4 count was 90 per cm^ and he was started on zidovudine (AZT), daily, and dapsone-pyrimethamine weekly as prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii penumonia (POP). His condition was stable until December 1992, when he developed pancytopenia due to zidovudine-induced myelotoxicity. He was switched to dideoxyinosine (ddl), 200 mg twice a day, and zidovudine was discontinued. His oral candidosis became resistant to ketoconazole, but responded to fluconazole, 50 mg daily. In January 1993, he developed a left intrarenal abscess that was treated with gentamicin iv and cephalexin, orally. Blood
