On Jun. 5, 1981, Dr. Michael Gottlieb and colleagues of University of California at Los Angeles reported a case of Pneumocystis Pneumonia, the first case of AIDS.

The results appeared in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (vol. 30, pp. 250-52), a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publication.

This was the first article about AIDS in the medical literature.
