12 University Daily Kansan Friday, Sept. 13, 1985 Nation/World AIDS furor continues United Press International NEW YORK — A 7-year-old girl, suffering from AIDS, whose presence in class touched off parent protests and a school boycott by thousands of students, is a wonderful kid who just wants to go to school, her lawyer said yesterday. Two school boards asked the court to bar the child from attending class with fellow second-graders because she was born with acquired immune deficiency syndrome, but her lawyer, David Ellenborn, urged Judge Harold Hyman to allow the girl to remain in class. Ellenhorn argued that she would be branded as some kind of pariah if the plaintiffs were to succeed in ousting her from her classroom in the borough of Queens. There was no decision in the case after daylong testimony before Hyman. The hearing was expected to continue today at 9 a.m. CDT. Parents in Queens continued a boycott of classes, keeping about 10,000 children out of schools for the fourth straight day because city school officials have admitted the AIDS-afflicted child. The boycott seemed to have grown somewhat from Wednesday. United Press International ATLANTA — A tongue sore, first identified in San Francisco at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic four years ago, has been found to be an early indicator of the lethal infection, federal health officials said yesterday. The national Centers for Disease Control said "this newly reported lesion" was an important diagnostic tool for health-care providers in early recognition and treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Lesion used in early AIDS detection Known as hairy leukoplakia, the sore, or lesion, was seen for the first time in San Francisco AIDS victims in 1811, the CDC said. Since then it has been reported in AIDS patients examined in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Ann Arbor, Mich., and the European cities of Paris, Copenhagen and London. In another development, the CDC said AIDS now was fatal to more than half its victims, killing 51 percent. As of Sept. 9, there have been 13,074 cases of AIDS reported to the CDC and 6,611 fatalities. Seventy-three percent of AIDS patients are homosexuals and 17 percent are intravenous drug users. The CDC said 164 children have contracted AIDS and 115 of them were infected. AIDS is caused by a virus which destroys disease-fighting white blood cells in the body, leaving victims susceptible to a host of fatal infections. The health agency said that oral viral hair leukoplakia appeared as raised white areas of thickening on the tongue and had a "hairy" appearance. Scientists, in examining the lesion, found other infectious agents present on the surface of the sore, including candida, a fungus infection, along with a number of viruses — papilloma (an oral wart), herpes and Epstein-Barr. The CDC said that from October 1918 to June of this year, 13 of 123 patients with hairy leukoplakia seen in San Francisco "were additionally diagnosed as having AIDS." Twenty others later developed the disease and 78 of the 123 tested positive for antibodies to the AIDS HTLV-IIH LAV virus. Hairy leukoplakia "may be of diagnostic value as an early indicator of HTLV-III-LAV infections, especially when observed in combination with other clinical findings," the CDC said. "Health-care providers, including dental personnel, are in a unique position to identify clinical oral symptoms and their potential association with AIDS," the CDC said. come see "HOWARD LUCAS" in one man show When My Cue Comes, Call Me (a humorous look at acting) Saturday, Sept. 14, 8 p.m. Lunatics, Lovers and Poets (the humor, romance and tragedy of Shakespeare) Sunday, Sept. 15, 2:30 p.m. 1501 New Hampshire, Lawrence Community Theatre Admission $5 ($4 senior citizen) Call 843-7469 for more info TELL THE TOWN CALL THE KANSAN 864-4358 1618 West 23rd Prime Rib Buffet A great buffet for any occasion, includes bountiful selection of salads, vegetables, potatoes, chicken and seafood entrees, rolls, butter, and freshly roasted prime rib of beef — carved to order.
