We wish to report the results of a retrospective study of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-related complex (ARC) as well as a group of asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals, in whom we examined markers of systemic autoimmune disease incl
## Abstract Serum immune complexes were measured in 22 patients with eosinophilic fasciitis, 8 of whom had serial determinations. Elevated levels were found by Raji cell radioimmunoassay in 14 (64%) patients, by agarose gel electrophoresis in 13 (59%), and by C1q agglutinationβinhibition in 9 (41%)
For assessing the role of circulating immune complexes (CIC) in chronic hepatitis C, the relative frequency of CIC was determined in 54 patients with chronic hepatitis C, 15 asymptomatic hepatitis C virus (HCV) carriers, and 54 healthy controls. IgM and IgG containing CIC were studied using both C l
