Abstract
BACKGROUND With the development of new antiviral agents for influenza, the urge for rapid and reliable diagnosis of influenza becomes increasingly important. Respiratory virus infections are difficult to distinguish on clinical grounds. General practitioners (GPs) however, still depend on their clinical judgement. AIM To evaluate the importance of clinical symptoms in the diagnosis of influenza virus infection. DESIGN OF STUDY A multicentre questionnaire study. SETTING Eighty-one patients from 14 general practices. METHOD Patients with fever and at least one constitutional symptom and one respiratory symptom were included. A questionnaire with the medical history and clinical symptoms was completed and a combined nose-throat swab was taken. Virus culture, rapid culture, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification were performed on each specimen. Multivariate analysis was used to obtain the best predictive model. RESULTS By using PCR, an increase was seen in the detection of the viral pathogens compared with the results of culture. In 42 out of 81 patients PCR was positive for influenza. A positive predictive value (PPV) of 75% was observed for the combination of headache at onset, feverishness at onset, cough, and vaccination status during the period of increase influenza activity. Criteria used by the ICHPPC-2 resulted in a PPV of 54%. The PPV for diagnosis made by the GP was 76%. CONCLUSION Although influenza is difficult to diagnose on clinical grounds, the GPs in this study were able to diagnose influenza as such more accurately on their judgement than by the other criteria.

Abstract
Since influenza viruses can cause severe illness, timely diagnosis is important for an adequate intervention. The available rapid detection methods either lack sensitivity or require complex laboratory manipulation. This study describes a rapid, sensitive detection method that can be easily applied to routine diagnosis. This method simultaneously detects influenza viruses A and B in specimens of patients with respiratory infections using a TaqMan-based real-time PCR assay. Primers and probes were selected from highly conserved regions of the matrix protein gene of influenza virus A and the hemagglutinin gene segment of influenza virus B. The applicability of this multiplex PCR was evaluated with 27 influenza virus A and 9 influenza virus B reference strains and isolates. In addition, the specificity of the assay was assessed using eight reference strains of other respiratory viruses (parainfluenza viruses 1 to 3, respiratory syncytial virus Long strain, rhinoviruses 1A and 14, and coronaviruses OC43 and 229E) and 30 combined nose and throat swabs from asymptomatic subjects. Electron microscopy-counted stocks of influenza viruses A and B were used to develop a quantitative PCR format. Thirteen copies of viral RNA were detected for influenza virus A, and 11 copies were detected for influenza virus B, equaling 0.02 and 0.006 50% tissue culture infective doses, respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of the multiplex TaqMan-based PCR was determined by testing 98 clinical samples. This real-time PCR technique was found to be more sensitive than the combination of conventional viral culturing and shell vial culturing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is thought as a consequence of continuous replication, HIV-1 has acquired an optimal fitness state and that suboptimal antiretroviral therapy selects for drug resistant variants which show impaired fitness in the absence of the drug. In this paper we studied the evolution and fitness of viral populations appearing in a patient who received protease monotherapy. METHODS Two factors contributing to fitness, drug resistance and protease catalytic activity, were studied at the enzymatic and virological level. RESULTS The first drug resistant viral variants that were selected in vivo harboured one to three protease substitutions. These mutants showed reduced protease activity and consequently a reduction in viral replication capacity. During continued in vivo replication of these viruses in the presence of the drug, novel variants harbouring additional substitutions in the viral protease appeared. These variants did not display any further increase in drug resistance but demonstrated clearly increased protease activity. Consequently the replication capacity of these viruses was raised to a level at which they replicated better than the original wild-type virus. CONCLUSION This study indicates that the viral population in the patient does not have to represent the fittest possible variants, and thus antiretroviral therapy may drive the viral population first through a lower fitness level and then to a higher fitness level.

Abstract
It has long been assumed that HIV-1 evolution is best described by deterministic evolutionary models because of the large population size. Recently, however, it was suggested that the effective population size (Ne) may be rather small, thereby allowing chance to influence evolution, a situation best described by a stochastic evolutionary model. To gain experimental evidence supporting one of the evolutionary models, we investigated whether the development of resistance to the protease inhibitor ritonavir affected the evolution of the env gene. Sequential serum samples from five patients treated with ritonavir were used for analysis of the protease gene and the V3 domain of the env gene. Multiple reverse transcription-PCR products were cloned, sequenced, and used to construct phylogenetic trees and to calculate the genetic variation and Ne. Genotypic resistance to ritonavir developed in all five patients, but each patient displayed a unique combination of mutations, indicating a stochastic element in the development of ritonavir resistance. Furthermore, development of resistance induced clear bottleneck effects in the env gene. The mean intrasample genetic variation, which ranged from 1.2% to 5.7% before treatment, decreased significantly (P < 0.025) during treatment. In agreement with these findings, Ne was estimated to be very small (500-15,000) compared with the total HIV-1 RNA copy number. This study combines three independent observations, strong population bottlenecking, small Ne, and selection of different combinations of protease-resistance mutations, all of which indicate that HIV-1 evolution is best described by a stochastic evolutionary model.

Abstract
A simple approach for the determination of drug susceptibilities by using human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA from the sera of patients is described. HIV-1 RNA was extracted from patient sera, and the 5' part of the reverse transcriptase (RT) gene was transcribed into DNA and amplified in a nested PCR. The amplified fragment covers the 3' part of the protease gene and amino acids 1 to 304 of the RT gene. This fragment can be introduced through homologous recombination, as described previously, into a novel HIV-1 reference strain (pHXB2 delta 2-261RT) from which amino acids 2 to 261 of RT have been deleted. The resulting recombinant virus expresses all properties of the HXB2 reference strain except for those encoded by the introduced part of the patient RT gene. Recombinant viruses were subsequently tested for drug susceptibility in a microtiter format killing assay [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay] as well as in the standard HeLa CD4+ plaque reduction assay. Similar susceptibility profiles were obtained by each assay with recombinant viruses derived from patients receiving alternating nevirapine and zidovudine treatment or lamivudine-zidovudine combination therapy. In conclusion, this approach enables high-through-put determination of the drug susceptibilities of serum RNA-derived RT genes, independent of the patient's viral background, and generates the possibility of relating changes in susceptibility to changes in viral genotypes.

Abstract
The effect of the appearance of drug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) on viral RNA load was studied in patients treated with the reverse transcriptase inhibitor lamivudine. During the first 12 weeks of treatment, HIV-1 RNA concentrations and amino acid changes in codon 184, causing high-level resistance to lamivudine, were determined in longitudinal serum samples from HIV-1 p24 antigen-positive and -negative patients. A marked decline in the amount of HIV-1 RNA (approximately 95% below baseline) and HIV-1 p24 antigen was observed within 2 weeks, followed by a rise that coincided with the appearance of lamivudine-resistant viruses in serum (isoleucine mutants initially, which were subsequently replaced by valine variants). After 12 weeks, a partial antiviral effect was observed despite the presence of a complete codon 184 mutant virus population in serum. This study shows that the rapid appearance of drug-resistant virus in serum is followed by an increase in viral RNA load.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Familial occurrence of Bartter's syndrome is well known, but the simultaneous occurrence of hypokalemia/hypomagnesemia and chondrocalcinosis in one family has not been described. We present the clinical, laboratory and radiological findings of a family, in which 7 members were affected by disease. METHODS A total of 43 members of the family could be interviewed concerning their general health, past diseases and joint complaints. Serum potassium and magnesium were determined in all and radiographic studies were performed in those who had hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia or those with merely articular complaints. Urinary excretion of potassium, magnesium and calcium were determined in the affected persons. RESULTS Seven patients were found with hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. Urinary potassium and magnesium excretion was inappropriately high when compared to the serum levels of these electrolytes. All patients had hypocalciuria and extensive chondrocalcinosis, mainly in the knees, elbows and shoulders. In one patient, most probably as a result of magnesium supplementation, a striking reduction of chondrocalcinosis was observed during a followup of 10 years. CONCLUSION A family with familial hypokalemia/hypomagnesemia and chondrocalcinosis is described. The reduction of chondrocalcinosis, after years of magnesium supplementation in one patient, suggests that hypomagnesemia is an important factor in the pathogenesis of chondrocalcinosis in these patients.

Abstract
The potential use of an alternating treatment strategy with nevirapine and zidovudine in prolonging the antiretroviral effects of nevirapine was evaluated. Ten human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected p24 antigen-positive persons who had not received prior antiretroviral therapy were treated for 9-13 weeks with an alternating regimen of 1 week of nevirapine (200 mg/day) and 3 weeks of zidovudine (600 mg/day). Serum p24 antigen levels declined during the first week of nevirapine treatment (median, 59%); however, subsequent courses of nevirapine were characterized by rising p24 antigen levels, while antigen levels remained stable or declined during zidovudine treatment. Serum beta 2-microglobulin levels and CD4+ cell counts exhibited similar responses. HIV-1 isolates obtained from 2 patients revealed 40- and 1000-fold reductions in nevirapine sensitivity after 8 weeks. These findings demonstrate that alternating treatment with zidovudine and nevirapine does not prolong the effectiveness of nevirapine and does not prevent the development of nevirapine resistance.

Abstract
Passage of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in the presence of increasing 2'-deoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC) concentrations results in high-level (> 100-fold) 3TC-resistant viruses. All 3TC-resistant viruses possess a substitution at the second codon (from a methionine into an isoleucine) at position 184 within the highly conserved motif (YMDD) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase. 3TC-resistant viruses were cross-resistant to the (-) enantiomer of the fluorinated derivative of BCH-189 but remained susceptible to 2',3'-dideoxyinosine and 2',3'-dideoxycytidine. The susceptibilities of the 3TC-resistant viruses to the (+) enantiomers of BCH-189 and the fluorinated derivative of BCH-189 demonstrate an enantiomeric specificity for viruses selected under these conditions. Introduction of an isoleucine substitution at codon 184 into a background of two known 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine resistance mutations (amino acids 41 and 215) restored the susceptibility of this virus to 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine.

Abstract
Zidovudine treatment of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) results in HIV-1 isolates with a reduced zidovudine sensitivity in vitro. This reduction is due to mutations causing amino acid substitutions at five codons (41, 67, 70, 215, and 219) on the reverse transcriptase enzyme of HIV. HIV-1 isolates were obtained 8 to 69 weeks after therapy discontinuation from 10 patients at different stages of disease. Zidovudine sensitivity was determined by the HeLa CD4+ plaque assay. The presence of the resistance-conferring mutations was determined by using a selective polymerase chain reaction. Sensitivity could be determined for six isolate pairs: one showed a decline in the 50% inhibitory zidovudine concentration after therapy discontinuation; four pairs did not show a change. The majority of changes in the five codons in isolates from all 10 patients were the result of a relative increase in the wild-type sequence. Complete changes from mutant to the wild type were seen for only two codons in isolates from two patients. This study of isolates from a small group of individuals at different stages of disease, who had been taking zidovudine for 1 to 2 years, shows that a period of 1 year without zidovudine may be required to achieve a change from a mutant or mixed virus population to a wild-type virus population.

Abstract
To create experimental systems that facilitate studies aimed at the responsiveness of hematopoietic progenitors to interleukin (IL)-6 in combination with IL-3, we introduced the human IL-6 receptor (hIL-6R) into the IL-3-dependent cell line 32D. For this purpose, a retroviral vector containing the hIL-6R cDNA was constructed. 32D parental cells did not respond to IL-6, neither alone nor in combination with increasing concentrations of IL-3, and did not express detectable numbers of IL-6R as determined by 125I-IL-6 binding. 32D/hIL-6R cells expressed high-affinity IL-6 binding and responded synergistically to IL-6 in combination with suboptimal amounts of IL-3 in DNA synthesis assays. In addition, IL-6 promoted the short-term survival of IL-3-responsive clonogenic 32D/hIL-6R cells. On the other hand, although introduction of hIL-6R resulted in the formation of high-affinity IL-6 receptor structures in the IL-2-dependent thymocyte cell line CTLL, CTLL/hIL-6R cells did not respond to IL-6 in synergy with IL-2. We conclude that 32D cells possess the intracellular machinery permissive for IL-6 signal transduction. Murine IL-3-dependent cell lines with ectopic IL-6 receptors can serve as models for dissecting the molecular basis of IL-6 responses in primitive hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
Among 52 patients diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), nine cases were found in which interleukin-5 (IL-5) induced a proliferative response in the leukemic cells, as measured by the stimulation of DNA synthesis or colony formation in vitro. All cases (n = 7) with the cytogenetic abnormality t(8;21)(q22;q22) belonged to this group of IL-5 responders. Of the additional two cases, one had an apparently normal karyotype, but the other expressed a dicentric chromosome 21, an abnormality also involving the breakpoint region 21q22. The leukemic cells of the IL-5 responsive patients could also be stimulated to proliferate by IL-3, GM-CSF and G-CSF, and in some cases by IL-6 or M-CSF. Immunophenotypic analysis revealed the presence of the immature hematopoietic cell antigen CD34, the myelomonocytic maturation antigens CD13 and CD33, in association with the B-cell related surface marker CD19 on the leukemic cells. Immunoglobulin mu and T-cell receptor beta-genes in the leukemic cells were in germline configuration. Upon incubation in colony culture, clonogenic cells were capable of producing progeny showing eosinophilic or neutrophilic maturation following stimulation with IL-5 or G-CSF, respectively. It is concluded that IL-5 responsive AML represents a subgroup of leukemia with distinct immunotypic and cytogenetic features.

Abstract
The cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays a role in the regulation of normal as well as leukemic hematopoiesis. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), IL-1 induces autocrine granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production, and these factors may then synergistically induce proliferation in AML blast cells. In this report, we show that IL-1 stimulates DNA synthesis of highly enriched normal bone marrow blast cells (CD34 positive, adherent cell depleted, CD3/CD14/CD15 negative). The stimulative effect of IL-1 can be blocked with neutralizing anti-TNF alpha and anti-GM-CSF antibodies and, most efficiently, by the combination of anti-TNF alpha and anti-GM-CSF, but not with anti-G-CSF antibody, suggesting that IL-1-induced proliferation was initiated through TNF and GM-CSF release. Concentrations of TNF and GM-CSF increased in the culture medium of normal bone marrow blast cells after IL-1 induction. Of the IL-1-induced cells, 12% were positive for GM-CSF mRNA by in situ hybridization, as opposed to 6% of non-induced cells. Thus, in addition to its effect on leukemic blast cells, IL-1 also acts on normal marrow blast cells. We propose a scheme where IL-1 stimulation of normal bone marrow blast cells leads to the induction of TNF alpha and GM-CSF, which in association stimulate DNA synthesis efficiently according to a paracrine or autocrine mechanism within the marrow blast cell compartment.

Abstract
The human multilineage hematopoietic growth factor granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induces multipotent, erythroid, and eosinophil colony formation from highly enriched normal bone marrow cells. We have examined the effects of GM-CSF combined with granulocyte-CSF (G-CSF) or macrophage-CSF (M-CSF) on the monolineage granulocytic, eosinophilic, and macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-G, CFU-Eo, and CFU-M) in accessory cell depleted marrow fractions. GM-CSF effects were assessed in direct comparison with those of interleukin-3 (IL-3) plus G-CSF or M-CSF. GM-CSF strongly synergized with G-CSF in the formation of granulocytic colonies with respect to number and size and enhanced the in vitro survival of CFU-G. More immature cells were present in colonies induced by the mixture of GM-CSF and G-CSF than by G-CSF alone. GM-CSF also synergized with M-CSF in the formation of macrophage colonies (number and size). The addition of G-CSF and M-CSF did not influence eosinophil colony formation induced by GM-CSF or IL-3. Experiments directly comparing GM-CSF and IL-3 revealed that the effects of GM-CSF on G and M colony-forming cells were significantly greater than those of IL-3. The potent positive effects between GM-CSF and G-CSF as well as between GM-CSF and M-CSF provide a powerful mechanism of amplification of granulopoiesis and monocytopoiesis.

Abstract
Human multilineage colony-stimulating factor (multi-CSF)/interleukin-3 (IL-3) induces colony formation from CFU-GEMM, BFU-E, and CFU-Eo when applied to in vitro cultures of highly enriched hematopoietic progenitor cells. No granulocytic colonies are formed in response to IL-3. However, with appropriate assays, we demonstrate that IL-3 increases the size of G-CSF-induced granulocytic colonies; these colonies contain greater proportions of immature cells as compared with colonies stimulated by G-CSF alone. Furthermore, IL-3 promotes the survival of CFU-G in vitro, whereas in cultures not supplemented with IL-3, CFU-G extinguish within seven days. We conclude that IL-3, although it does not stimulate granulocytic colony formation by itself, regulates the survival and proliferative rate of granulocytic progenitors.

Abstract
Human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has been described as a multilineage growth factor that induces in vitro colony formation from erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E), eosinophil colony-forming units (CFU-Eo), and multipotential CFU (CFU-GEMM) as well as from granulocyte-macrophage CFU (CFU-GM), granulocyte CFU (CFU-G), and macrophage CFU (CFU-M). In this paper we provide evidence indicating that GM-CSF, when tested for its stimulating capacities expressed upon highly enriched hematopoietic progenitor cells (CD34+/monocyte-depleted), is unable to induce colonies from CFU-GM, CFU-G, or CFU-M. Only BFU-E, CFU-Eo, and CFU-GEMM were stimulated, and thus GM-CSF induces a similarly restricted spectrum of progenitor cells as does recombinant human interleukin 3 (IL-3). We then compared the relative stimulating potencies of GM-CSF and IL-3 by measuring colony numbers of CFU-GEMM, BFU-E, and CFU-Eo generated from CD34+ progenitor cells. IL-3 and GM-CSF as single factors were equally active in stimulating CFU-GEMM, but the combination of both factors produced additive stimulative effects upon CFU-GEMM. IL-3 was a more potent stimulus of BFU-E, and GM-CSF was the more active stimulating factor for CFU-Eo. We conclude that GM-CSF and IL-3, although stimulating the outgrowth of identical types of progenitor cells, particularly differ as regards their comparative quantitative efficiency of stimulation.

Abstract
An unusual case of acute renal failure due to infiltration of the kidneys by non-Hodgkin lymphoma is described. The diagnosis was made by renal biopsy. Extensive clinical, laboratory, and radiological examination revealed that the kidneys were the only localization of the lymphoma.
