(19) In primary cultures of Kupffer cells obtained from surgical biopsies of human liver by collagenase perfusion followed by centrifugal elutriation and infected with HIV, the virus multiplied abundantly, as attested by the appearance of a reverse transcriptase activity in the medium.
(20) The clinical and laboratory data obtained point to the presence in some patients with visceral candidiasis of parathyroid, thyroid, pancreatic and adrenocortical dysfunctions, attesting to their importance in the disease pathogenesis.
