 AB    One hundred consecutive patients who died of the acquired
       immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were studied with an emphasis on the
       heart. Thirty-two patients showed pathologic changes. The pathologic
       findings included infection by Histoplasma capsulatum, Toxoplasma
       gondii, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, cytomegalovirus. Cryptococcus
       neoformans, and atypical mycobacteria. Noninfectious pathologic findings
       included nonspecific myocarditis, focal necrosis, focal fibrosis, and
       acute subendocardial infarction.
