[AIDS-related disease in an infant. A new entity to consider in pediatrics].
Recently some cases of AIDS and AIDS-related disorders in children have been published. Some of them had received blood transfusions, others were secondary to AIDS in the mother (vertical transmission). Authors report a case of an 18-month old male infant who became seriously ill when he was 13-month old, and which proved particularly difficult to diagnose until specific serology for HTLV-III, was performed at the age of 16 months. Authors believe that due to growing incidence of AIDS and AIDS-related diseases it is essential to dismiss this diagnosis in infants with a history of transfusion, maternal transfusions or family drug abuse or promiscuity.
