Abstract

The incidence of atopic diseases and IgE production was investigated in 69 patients of the AIDS outpatient clinic. In LAV/HTLV-III infected homosexuals there was a trend to lower serum IgE levels and decreased frequency of atopic diseases. The incidence of patients with positive RAST against common environmental allergens was significantly lower in LAV/HTLV-III-infected versus non-infected homosexuals.
