Burkitt's lymphoma in a child with AIDS.
Few systemic lymphomas have been reported in children with AIDS. We report a case of disseminated Burkitt's lymphoma with lung involvement occurring in a 33-month-old child with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia was diagnosed by lung biopsy at 23 months of age, but lymphoma was not diagnosed before autopsy.
