Abstract

Case report on a 49-year-old woman who contracted acute hepatitis B during a trip to Haiti in 1977. The hepatitis healed and the patient was in good health until July 1982 when she died of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia despite early treatment. This case resembles the acquired immune deficiency syndrome recently described in the United States among homosexuals and Haitians.
