...officer went to the scene to investigate reports of an individual driving by a building repeatedly at 77 Ave. Louis Pasteur in Boston and snapping photographs. But the responding officer was ultimately unable to locate the drive-by photographer...
...AIDS virus came much sooner than anyone could have expected. "We have never made such rapid progress with any disease in the past," says Margaret Heckler, Secretary of Health and Human Services. It was in May 1983 that a French team led by Dr. Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute in Paris first published evidence of a new virus that appeared to play a role in the disease. The following spring, Dr. Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md., announced that he had conclusively identified the AIDS virus and produced it in large quantities. At a press...
...potent antiviral substances are being tested, and several seem to stop or slow the reproduction of the AIDS virus at least temporarily. But they produce debilitating side effects, like kidney damage, which make them unsuitable for prolonged treatment. Among these drugs are HPA-23, a compound developed at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, where Rock Hudson sought treatment; Suramin, originally used to treat such parasitic disorders as African sleeping sickness; and Foscarnet, a drug being tested in Sweden and Canada...
...desperate search for something, anything, to arrest the disease, AIDS patients are traveling the world. Hudson had reportedly gone to Paris to seek treatment with an experimental antiviral preparation called HPA-23, which was discovered at the city's famed Pasteur Institute. French experiments with this and other new drugs have made Paris something of a Lourdes, attracting dozens of AIDS patients from the U.S. and elsewhere. Some patients have flown to Mexico to be treated with other drugs supposedly effective against AIDS but not approved for use in the U.S. Some sufferers have spent small fortunes on obscure rejuvenating...
...AIDS patients lies in half a dozen experimental drugs now being tested in the U.S. and abroad. In general, the drugs fall into two categories: those that attack the AIDS virus directly, generally by interfering with its replication, and those that are aimed at rebuilding the immune system. The Pasteur Institute's HPA-23, which may be available for study in the U.S. this fall, prevents the virus from reproducing by blocking the transcription of its genetic code. In limited studies, HPA-23 has indeed been shown to reduce the amount of virus present in some patients' blood...
