Scope note: Fase prodrómica de la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). Los criterios de laboratorio que distinguen al complejo relacionado con el sida (CRS) del SIDA son: respuesta inmunitaria humoral hiperactiva o elevada de los linfocitos B, en comparación con la reactividad reducida o normal de anticuerpos que se observa en el sida; hiperplasia folicular o mixta en los ganglios linfáticos en el CRS, que conlleva a la degeneración linfocítica y depleción, que es más típica del sida. También existe una sucesión de lesiones histopatológicas, como la localización del sarcoma de Kaposi, que muestra la transición hacia el cuadro completo del sida.

Scope note: A prodromal phase of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Laboratory criteria separating AIDS-related complex (ARC) from AIDS include elevated or hyperactive B-cell humoral immune responses, compared to depressed or normal antibody reactivity in AIDS; follicular or mixed hyperplasia in ARC lymph nodes, leading to lymphocyte degeneration and depletion more typical of AIDS; evolving succession of histopathological lesions such as localization of Kaposi's sarcoma, signaling the transition to the full-blown AIDS.
