5. Hiv. and autoimmunity. 14Hiv‐1 infection has been known to present several kinds of autoimmune rheumatic manifestations and similarities of immunological abnormalities between Hiv‐1 infection and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (Sle) have also been reported. The mechanisms of autoimmunity in Hiv‐1 infection have been debated. Several autoantibodies such as anti‐nuclear antibody anti‐Dna antibody anti‐cardiolipin antibody anti‐platelet antibody anti‐lymphocyte antibody and the like can be detected in the serum of Hiv‐infected patients. T cell and B cell dysfunction due to Hiv‐1 infection is known to be similar to that observed in Sle including polyclonal B cell activation T cell activation (such as expression of Hla class II molecules) and T cell anergy (such as the decline in IL‐2 production and the mixed lymphocyte reaction). These changes may be related to the autoimmune manifestations of Hiv‐1 infection.
