Abstract
Lymphoid neoplasia is now well known to occur in patients with human i mmunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection but the first case of acute mono cytic leukaemia in an HIV-seropositive man has been only recently desc ribed. We report the case of an HIV-infected patient who simultaneousl y developed skin lesions of acute monocytic leukaemia and chicken pox. We suggest that HIV may produce a malignant transformation of monocyt ic cells.
