 AB    During 1994, state, local, and territorial health departments reported
       to CDC 80,691 cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) among
       persons in the United States, which followed the 106,618 cases reported
       in 1993. The number of cases reported in each of these years was greater
       than that reported in 1992 (47,572) and followed the expansion of the
       AIDS surveillance case definition for adolescents and adults implemented
       on January 1, 1993 (1-3). Based on analyses using consistent
       definitions, the rate of AIDS-related illnesses increased 3% in 1993
       compared with 1992; a similar increase is expected for 1994 compared
       with 1993 (3). This report summarizes the characteristics of AIDS cases
       reported in 1994 and compares these findings with those in 1993.
