Epidemiologic Aspects of the Current Outbreak of Kaposi's Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections
Abstract
Since June 1981, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has learned of an increased occurrence of Kaposi's sarcoma, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, and other serious opportunistic infections concentrated among homosexual men in the United States. After receiving the initial reports,1 , 2 the CDC formed a task force to undertake surveillance for these disorders and conduct epidemiologic and laboratory investigations. This report describes these surveillance activities and summarizes current knowledge of the epidemiologic aspects of this outbreak.Surveillance and Reporting MethodsCase-report forms were completed for biopsy-proved cases of Kaposi's sarcoma in persons under 60 years of age without underlying immunosuppressive disease or . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
