Abstract
Soluble CD54 levels in sera were quantitated in asymptomatic intravenous drug users, homosexuals, and patients with lymphadenopathy, AIDSโrelated complex, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Soluble CD54 levels were elevated in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)โseronegative asymptomatic intravenous drug users, reflecting infections like cytomegalovirus, EpsteinโBarr virus, and hepatitis B virus. The sera of human immunodeficiency virusโseropositive groups of patients also had elevated levels of soluble CD54, reflecting infections like cytomegalovirus and human immunodeficiency virus infection. ยฉ 1993 WileyโLiss, Inc.
