Materials and MethodsPatients with lymphadenopathy were evaluated by the Infectious Disease Service at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The criteria for lymphadenopathy were lymph nodes larger than l cm in diameter in two non-contiguous lymph node chains, excluding the inguinal and femoral nodes, documented by one of us for at least 3 months. Details of medical history pertaining to lymphadenopathy, history of sexually transmitted diseases, sexual practices, and drug use were obtained using a questionnaire filled out by the patient and reviewed with him by one of us.Routine laboratory tests and serologies were performed with standard methods. Viral cultures of urine, semen, saliva and buffy coat were performed using human embryonic lung (WI38), human embryonic kidney (HEK), monkey kidney (MK), and rabbit kidney (RK) cell cultures. Stool cultures and examinations for ova and parasites including Cryptosporidia sp were obtained when clinically indicated. Anti-HTIV–III antibody was measured in banked serum specimens of 84 patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Sera that gave an optical density at least three times the negative control sera were considered positive. Nega-tive sera and those giving discrepant results were tested by the Western blot technique. The earliest available specimen from each patient was tested and serial specimens were tested from
