An AIDS patient undergoing experimental treatment in Paris with the drug cyclosporine has died, one of the developers of the widely publicized treatment announced. Dr. Philippe Even of Laennec Hospital in Paris said the 38-year-old male patient died Saturday after about three weeks of treatment for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. But he said other patients are responding well to cyclosporine and that research and clinical tests “will be expanded to several other French hospitals later this week.”
