Two doctors explore the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, through the eyes of three of their patients in Hong Kong. A Caucasian American businessman presented with pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, and also has cytomegalovirus and oral candidiasis, and incipient cerebral atrophy. A Chinese man presented with Penicillium marneffei pneumonia, and has major anxieties about his family discovering that he has AIDS and is homosexual. J J Chan, a Hong Kong disc jockey who presented with pneumocystis, has eosinophilic folliculitis and now advanced Kaposi's sarcoma. He went public to help increase awareness of AIDS and its prevention in Hong Kong. Together these men illustrate many of the physical and psychological problems of this disease in people with access to advanced medical services. The film also illustrates on a slide presentation many of the cutaneous and other manifestations of AIDS, and the film concludes with a new discussion of the general principles of its management and prevention, and how the field has changed in the nine years since the patients were filmed.

Their concomitant spread has been associated with the widespread development of multi-drug resistance of tuberculosis. On this film we examine their prevention and management both separately and together, concentrating on the plight of children in the developing world, and also hear of the programme in Thailand for the prevention of mother to child transmission of AIDS.

Dengue is caused by four strains of a RNA flavivirus, transmitted by the daytime biting Aedes mosquito, and is primarily a disease of the tropics and subtropics. Thought for long to be a benign infection, the past 50 years has seen a global explosion in Dengue and its complications. Increasing urbanization, crowding and travel mean that we now have a pandemic; furthermore dengue is now considered by WHO to be a serious disease of global importance. On this film we see patients at various stages and of varying degrees of severity, presented by doctors in Manila and Bangkok, and we then hear about the aetiology, prevention, detection, pathophysiology and management of Dengue and Dengue Shock Syndrome.
