title: [HIV infection in children of seropositive mothers].
abstract: Both resolved and still open questions are discussed. The natural course of HIV infection from the time at which a child becomes symptomatic is known. The incidence rate of HI-virus transmission to the child remains uncertain. Likewise the time of transmission and its cofactors as well as data about the incubation and latency periods remain open questions. The greatest problem thus, is the early and reliable definition of HIV infection. Initial results from prospective HIV-perinatal studies are presented, showing that a transmission rate between 20% and 40% is to be reckoned with.
