Cerebral infarction is an uncommon complication of AIDS in pediatric patients. We have seen three HIV-infected children who developed acute neurological deficits due to stroke. Cerebral infarction must be considered in the work-up of a child with AIDS who presents with focal neurological deficit, seizure or mental status change. Stroke is a complication of HIV infection that occurs in approximately 1% of affected children [1]. At autopsy, evidence of cerebral infarction was documented in 10-30% of children with HIV infection [2]. We have seen three children with focal infarction who are HIV positive.

D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).

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.
