[AIDS in a child with a LAV/HTLV-III infected mother]. 1986

R von Kries, and J E Müller, and W Distler, and H Brüster, and V Wahn

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.

D011020 Pneumonia, Pneumocystis A pulmonary disease in humans occurring in immunodeficient or malnourished patients or infants, characterized by DYSPNEA, tachypnea, and HYPOXEMIA. Pneumocystis pneumonia is a frequently seen opportunistic infection in AIDS. It is caused by the fungus PNEUMOCYSTIS JIROVECII. The disease is also found in other MAMMALS where it is caused by related species of Pneumocystis.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
