    Abstract:
    We have evaluated the autopsies of 11 patients with HTLV III/LAV-infection. The clinical diagnosis was AIDS in 10 cases and AIDS related complex (ARC) in one case. The most common infectious disease was pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, occurring in 5 cases. 3 patients showed evidence of mycobacterial infections and another three showed cytomegalovirus infections. Kaposi's sarcoma was found in 4 and other malignancies in 3 cases. Our results are in agreement with the findings of other authors.
