[AIDS in a child with a LAV/HTLV-III infected mother].
The clinical course of AIDS in a child of a HTLV III virus infected drug addicted mother is reported. Aged 7 month the baby died from Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. The clinical course prior to the final lethal infection was remarkably uneventful. Immunological controls revealed strikingly high immunoglobulin values, whereas only minor changes of cellular immunity were observed. At birth the baby had HTLV III antibodies as her mother, which dropped during the course of the disease to borderline values.
