[Care and outcome of 55 children born to HIV seropositive mothers].
We report our experience with vertically transmitted HIV infection in infants. Fifty-five children were prospectively followed for a period of 3 years. The neonatal diagnosis of HIV infection is not always possible and doubts about contamination may create familial anxiety which requires support by a multidisciplinary structure. Long-term prognosis is difficult to predict and it depends on the severity of the immune deficiency, the early onset of neurologic disease and the frequency of opportunistic infections.
