Popis: In 48 patients with HIV infection were tested for the presence of autologous and allogenic antibodies to red blood cells with the use of Coombs' direct and indirect tests. 18 HIV-infected patients had IgG antibodies to thrombocytes, circulating in the blood (detected by the method of EIA) and bound to thrombocytes (detected by the method of RIA). In 5 out of 48 patients Coombs' direct test yielded positive results with red blood cells. 6 out of 18 examined patients had an elevated content of thrombocyte-bound antibodies. The presence of cross reactions between gp120 of human immunodeficiency virus and gp3a thrombocytes led to the formation of antithrombocyte antibodies and, consequently, to a decrease in the number of thrombocytes.
