[Craniofacial dysmorphism in pediatric AIDS. Presentation of a case].
The case of a five-year-old mulatto girl with craniofacial dysmorphism, infected with AIDS virus, is presented. The girl had ocular hypertelorism; eyes slanted upwards; increase of the distance between the internal and external canthi; prominent triangular philtrum; thick lips; prominent forehead; flat nasal bridge; large parotid glands, which indicate that the infection must have transmitted during fetal life. These features were not observed in children infected with AIDS through other ways such as perinatal transmission, blood transfusions and breastfeeding.
