Abstract

A population including homosexual or heroinoman patients with lymphadenopathy is reported with special reference to Beta-2-microglobulin. This molecule seems to be more related to concomitant infection rather than to a high risk group. Thus, elevated Beta-2-microglobulin is useful to exclude infected donors but no high risk SIDA population.
