RESUMO

Elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha in serum were found in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected Africans to a higher extent than in matched HIV-1-infected Caucasians, both groups living in Sweden. The results suggest that factors not related to the environment contribute to enhanced synthesis of tumor necrosis factor alpha in HIV-1-infected patients.
