The authors review the epidemiologic and etiopathogenetic aspects of AIDS, in agreement with data published in December by the Center for Disease Control and by the WHO for the U.S., Europe and Italy. Twenty-one patients, with clinical signs of AIDS, undergoing lymph node biopsy, have been analysed (18 LAS-ARC and 3 AIDS) and the role of prophylaxis in the surgical approach to the patient with AIDS or a related syndrome has been underlined.
