Zidovudine (▾ Retrovir - Wellcome) is active against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is the first drug licensed for ‘the management of the serious manifestations of HIV infection in patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex (ARC)’. This article discusses clinical experience with zidovudine so far, and how it may be best used.

Eight patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex, ranging in age from 4 to 33 months, were evaluated for the presence of dysmorphic features recently described as human immunodeficiency virus embryopathy. Birth data and growth charts were available. Growth failure, a prominent box-like head, large wide eyes, and a well-formed philtrum were seen in the majority of patients. The significance of hypertelorism, obliquity of eyes, long palpebral fissures, blue scleras, depressed bridge of nose, and prominent upper vermilion border is discussed.

Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), who present with or develop psychotic symptoms, almost invariably have evidence of cognitive impairment. Three psychotic patients, one with AIDS, and two with AIDS-related complex (ARC), who showed no evidence of cognitive impairment, are reported. It is suggested that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may produce symptoms indistinguishable from those seen in the functional psychoses.

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that manifests in patients with the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), more prominently in the head, neck, and oral mucosal region. The diagnosis of this rare lymphoma serves as a concomitant diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The case is of a 33-year-old previously healthy male, with an unknown diagnosis of HIV with a painful right mandibular mass. He was subsequently diagnosed with PBL and HIV. This case of PBL illustrates the importance of linking a rare and potentially life-threatening diagnosis as a possible first manifestation of HIV.
