title: [Retrospective study of infection by the human immunodeficiency virus in pregnant women. Future of the child and the mother].
abstract: 5.4% (108 of 2,000) women have been confirmed for HIV 1 infection in Brazzaville in 1987. 1,172 deliveries have been registered by study, 7.76% have been occurred in HIV+ women. The prevalence of miscarriages was significantly, higher in HIV+ women than in HIV- ones (p less than 0.001). The birth-weight of new-borns was not significantly different among the children born to HIV+ and HIV- mothers. There were the various probable reasons of death of children born to HIV+ mothers. More frequently the respiratory affections with persistent hyperthermia were noticed. During the follow-up, in all groups of age, the fever with failure of thrive were the most frequent signs (50%) with pneumopathy. The clinical picture was completed by diarrhoea after six months of live.
