[sci.med.aids] NIAID report on Hyperthermia 5/5

The.Bird@f38.n135.z1.fidonet.org (The "Bird") (09/25/90)

RECOMMENDATIONS

1.    From the cases presented, there appears to be no clinical, immunologic, 
or virologic support for the use of hyperthermia in the treatment of HIV 
disease or Kaposi's sarcoma. Neither does there appear any support for further 
human experimentation in this area at this time.

2.    Clinical research in any setting must be based on widely accepted 
standard testing procedures for virology, immunology, and pathology that are 
performed by a single, accredited reference laboratory.

COMMENT

In all aspects of this investigation, Drs. Alonso and Logan and the staff of 
Atlanta Hospital who assisted with this project have acted with 
professionalism, openness, and a desire to help their patients with HIV 
disease. This would not have been possible without their full cooperation.
