 AB    The first two cases of HIV-2 infection in autoctonous Spanish subjects
       are presented. Two sailors (62 and 42 years of age) of Galician origin
       who travelled to east African countries are reported. The epidemiologic,
       clinico-evolutive characteristics--with manifestations similar to HIV-1
       infection (oral candidiasis and villous leukoplasia)--, and therapeutic
       response to zidovudine are described. The risk of HIV-2 infection in
       sailors travelling to Africa and the absence of opportunistic infections
       in a period of at least 6 to 11 years following infection despite CD4+
       lymphocytes being under 0.200 x 10(9)/l, are of note.
