Eight of 15 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and six of nine patients with lymphadenopathy syndrome (LAS) had paraproteins in their sera. Twelve of these 14 were IgG kappa; the other two had no demonstrable light chains. The relationship of the paraprotein to the pathogenesis of AIDS is not clear, but we discuss its relation to derangements of B-cell immune regulation and function and to B-cell tumors in AIDS patients.
