✦ Synopsis
To investigate whether the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or the abuse of narcotic drugs or other viral infections may be responsible for immunologic abnormalities in parenteral drug abusers, sera from 168 consecutive individual patients were collected from prevalence of serological markers of other viral infections in a population of parenteral drug abusers, collected in 1985-1986 in Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy), subdivided according to the presence or absence of antibody to HIV.
