Mechanism of anergy in AIDS and malnutrition.

Human immunodeficiency virus, the retrovirus associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is known to deplete CD4+ helper cells and reduce CD8+ cytotoxic cell activity, resulting in impaired cell-mediated immunity and a 'state of anergy'. This leads to dissemination of micro-organisms that are normally held dormant in the host by the cell-mediated immune system. Malnutrition also leads to depletion of CD4+ helper cells and decreases CD8+ cytotoxic cells leading to impaired cell-mediated immunity and 'state of anergy'. Clinical situation can worsen when the two conditions co-exist.

Aplasia of pectoralis major muscle and renal anomalies.

We describe two patients with aplasia of the pectoralis major muscle and renal anomalies. We think such an association, which has been reported previously, represents a new congenital malformation, probably not a syndrome but an acro-pectoro-renal field defect. We recommend renal ultrasonography be done on all children with aplasia of the pectoralis major.
