The authors report about two cases of AIDS in infancy. Both infants were Rumanian citizen brought to Hungary for examinations. Hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and recurrent upper respiratory tract infections respectively were the main clinical symptoms. The infections seemed to have nosocomical origin. Patients coming from Rumania are belonging to the high risk group as to the carrier state. Regular screening before or during hospital admission is advised therefore.
