Special ReportHow AIDS Spreads Like TBby John Seale, MA, MD, MRCPEditor's NoteThis paper, dated Aug. 19, 1985, wasoriginally titled "Chronic Lymphoid InterstitialPneumonitis and ProbableTransmission of Lymphadenopathy-Associated Virus (LAVIHTLV III) by Respirator/Aerosols." Seale, an expert ontropical disease from London, has beenintensively studying the outbreak ofAIDS in tropical areas, particularly Africa.Until the late 1970s, Seale was inthe Venereal Disease Division of St.Thomas/Middlesex Hospital.We are publishing this technical paperin order to alert readers to the gravedanger of AIDS, which has been documentedby scientists worldwide yetignored and covered up by politiciansand the liberal media. The normally appropriatejournals irresponsibly rejectedthis article for publication.The essential point the article documentsis that AIDS is now found in pulmonaryfluid. This means that as lesionsdevelop in the lungs, causing theinfected person to cough, and so on,AIDS can be transmitted in the samemanner as tuberculosis. Note that LAVis the French name and HTLVthe U.S.name for the AIDS virus.Other research not referenced in thisarticle has demonstrated that up to 15percent of HTLV virus is still present indry saliva after one week.* * *Lymphadenopathy-associated virus(LAV or HTLV III) was isolated a monthago by workers at the Pasteur Instituteand at the Pitie-Salpetriere, Laennec,and Claude Bernard Hospitals in Paris,from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a30-year-old black Haitian woman withAIDS related complex (ARC). 1 Thisfinding may explain the observationthat acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) affects men and womenequally in Haiti and Central Africa. Italso raises the ugly possibility that LAVmay often be transmitted by respiratoryaerosols in the tropics.The woman had suffered from anorexia,weight loss, and intermittentfever for over two years, and fromdyspnea on exertion for one year. Theonly abnormality detected on physicalexamination was generalized lymphadenopathy;there were no abnormalpulmonary signs. However, chest X-ray films showed diffuse reticulonodularinfiltrates, and lung biopsy revealedlymphocytic and plasma-cell infiltrationof the alveolar septa andbronchial walls, characteristic oflymphoid interstitial pneumonitis.The bronchoalveolar lavage fluidcontained 18 million cells per milliliter(comprising macrophages and lym-The Russian Angle to the AIDS EpidemicThe 100 percent lethal disease, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome(AIDS), has hit the Western world like a bombshell. If its spread is notarrested, the experts fear, its devastation will soon be worse than that ofnuclear war. What is the Soviet angle in the spread of AIDS?The coordinator of all AIDS task force work at the Geneva-based WorldHealth Organization (WHO) is none other than a Russian named SergeiLitvinov, the assistant secretary general of WHO for Communicable Diseases.By his own admission to a European journalist, Litvinov is designatedto coordinate all AIDS work globally for WHO in Geneva.Litvinov, who was trained as an epidemiologist at the Institute of TropicalMedicine and Parasitology in Moscow, is still an official of the SovietMinistry of Health. He is not only responsible for coordinating the AIDSactivities of WHO, but also the activities of the Centers for Disease Controlin Atlanta, Ga.What is Litvinov's position on AIDS? He peddles the Soviet propagandaline. As he told a journalist, "There has been a panic and exaggerationemanating from the originating country where AIDS developed—namely,the United States of America." The Soviet Deputy Minister of Health PyotrBurgasov made this charge more explicit in the Soviet trade union newspaperTrud Oct. 6. Asserting that there were "no cases of AIDS in theU.S.S.R.," Burgasov said that the reason for the high number of cases inthe "degenerate" West was the sexual perversity and drug use.— Warren).
