Descriptor síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida
Entry term(s) SIDA
síndrome de deficiencia inmunitaria adquirida
Scope note: Defecto adquirido de la inmunidad celular que se asocia a la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH), un recuento de linfocitos T CD4 inferior a 200 células por microlitro o menor del 14 por ciento del recuento total de linfocitos y aumento de la susceptibilidad a padecer enfermedades oportunistas y neoplasias malignas. Entre las manifestaciones clínicas se encuentran también la emaciación y la demencia. Estos elementos reflejan los criterios de SIDA definidos por los CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) en 1993.

Scope note: An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
