title: Developmental problems in children with HIV infection.
abstract: The majority of children with symptomatic HIV infection present with a variety of neurodevelopmental impairments, including mental retardation and motor abnormalities. Their clinical courses vary widely, with some infants showing progressive deterioration during the first year of life whereas some children follow a static course until adolescence. Rehabilitative services must be established to meet the complex needs of this growing population of children with developmental disabilities.
