 AB    21 seroconversion HIV-infected subjects have been examined. 16 of them
       presented with acute symptoms. The disease in the period of
       seroconversion manifested with fever, weakness, headache, pain in the
       throat, enlargement of peripheral lymph nodes, polymorphous eruption.
       Typical mononucleosis-like syndrome occurred in 3 patients only. Half of
       the patients had subclinical disease, no eruption was seen. Because of
       clinical indications only 8 of 21 patients were examined for HIV
       infection. One-third of the patients in seroconversion had moderate
       thrombocytopenia, probably of autoimmune nature. Autoimmune disorder of
       the thyroid was registered in 1 patient. The diagnosis of acute HIV
       infection is not easy in view of rare occurrence of immunodeficiency
       typical for this infection. Candidiasis of the mucosa was seen in 37.5%,
       low levels of CD4-lymphocytes in 66.7% of the cases.
