On this day in 1981, a landmark paper in NEJM described four patients with evidence of immunodeficiency associated with PJP pneumonia, disseminated CMV, and Kaposi sarcoma. The disease would come to be known as HIV/AIDS. Revisit the paper: nej.md/41iekKD #MedSky #IDSky
Published on This Day in 1981.

I shared the data below because RFK Jr. thinks that NIH focuses too much on infectious disease and not enough on chronic disease. Depending on how you count, less than 10% of NIH's budget goes to infectious disease, while the lion's share goes toward chronic disease.
