A patient with the main complaint of pharyngeal pain who visited our otorhinolaryngology department as a result of many tests was diagnosed as having AIDS. The patient was a 42-year-old male who worked as a dancing instructor and was a homosexual. Tonsillar candidiasis, swelling of lymph glands in the cervical region, and dermal erythema in the neck were found. Blood tests showed a reduction in WBC, increase in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), increased levels of immuno globulins IgA and IgG, reduction in T-cells, and a OKT4/OKT8 ratio of 0.2. The tuberculin response was negative and the HIV antibody titer was 320x. Pneumo cystis carinii and Kaposis salcoma were not present.
