Aspects of HIV infection and AIDS in childhood have been reported since 1982. Pathological features are due to direct action of HIV, opportunistic infection and some tumoral processes. This report presents our own experience resulted from 27 cases of necropsy of patients diagnosed with AIDS or seropositive for HIV. Emphasize is placed on microscopic changes in different systems and organs (central nervous system, heart, lung, gastrointestinal tract, liver, lymphoid organs, kidney), by comparing our results with those described in literature.
