N2 - To the Editor: Three unusual cytoplasmic structures have been seen in lymphoid cells and other tissues of patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS): tubuloreticular structures, test-tube and ring forms, and vesicular rosettes.1 2 3 4 5 These structures occur in diseases other than AIDS.3,4,6 7 8 All morphologic studies so far have been carried out on materials from adults. As described in a recent Journal report and elsewhere, infants in certain high-risk groups contract AIDS.9 10 11 We have observed tubuloreticular structures and test-tube and ring forms in peripheral leukocytes of an infant with the syndrome. In addition, we have seen a novel cytoplasmic particle in cultured.
