Abstract
Infection with the human immune deficiency virus (HIV) results in a variety of pathologic lesions, leading to multisystem disease (Klatt 1989, Klatt 1992; Lucas 1995; Lucas et al. 1993, Lucas 1996). Although some of the effects are the direct results of HIV infection, the majority of the lesions are due to secondary infections with opportunistic organisms (Lyon et al. 1996). In addition, a considerable number of proliferative lesions, both benign and malignant, occur as a direct result of the immunodeficiency status of the patient, and the intense therapy also has its drawbacks (John et al. 1998, Paxton and Janssen 2000).
