ABSTRACT
26 AIDS patients within a period of 3 years were studied for associated malignant disease. There were 4 associated malignancy. The commonest AIDS associated malignant disease found is Kaposi's sarcoma seen in 2 patients. In one each of the AIDS patients, association of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute Promyelocytic leukemia (M3) was found. Findings by other workers are reviewed. With new trends in management of AIDS patients that prolong their survival, an increase in the incidence of AIDS associated malignancy is anticipated.

One hundred and sixty five women admitted in the Regional Medical College Hospital, Manipur, for delivery and their newborns were studied for some anthropometric and hematological parameters. The mean weights of mothers and infants were 50.94 +/- 0.86 kg and 2.86 +/- 0.07 kg, respectively. The mean hemoglobin levels were 11.05 +/- 1.57 g/dl in mothers and 15.05 +/- 0.27 g/dl in cord blood. Statistically no correlation existed between hemoglobin levels and between weights of mothers and infants.
