 AB    In 25 persons having HIV infection with different dynamics of the
       progress of the disease the content of lymphocyte populations was
       studied (by the methods of rosette formation and with the use of
       monoclonal antibodies) and the rosette-forming and functional metabolic
       activity of neutrophils was determined. In comparison with patients with
       a stable course of HIV, patients with relatively rapid progress
       infection were found to have a significantly lesser amount of
       E-rosette-forming cells (E-RFC), active E-RFC, theophylline resistant
       E-RFC, E-rosette-forming neutrophils (E-RFN) and active E-RFN in
       combination with a significantly higher neutrophil and phosphatase
       activity and a significantly higher content of cation proteins. These
       characteristics may be used as criteria for prognosis of HIV infection
       progression.
