Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection presents a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations.
  • These can include opportunistic infections, lymphoproliferative disorders, and neoplasms.
  • Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring these conditions in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and highlight the spectrum of imaging findings in children with HIV infection/AIDS.
  • To emphasize findings in commonly affected organ systems.
  • To focus on imaging characteristics unique to the pediatric population.

Main Methods:

  • Review of relevant medical literature.
  • Compilation of characteristic imaging findings from pediatric cases of HIV/AIDS.
  • Focus on frequently involved organ systems and pediatric-specific manifestations.

Main Results:

  • HIV/AIDS in children leads to diverse pathologies with specific imaging signatures.
  • Commonly affected systems include the central nervous system, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract.
  • Unique findings in pediatric HIV/AIDS patients are identified across various organ systems.

Conclusions:

  • Radiological assessment is vital for identifying HIV-related complications in children.
  • Understanding system-specific and pediatric-unique findings aids in accurate diagnosis.
  • This review provides a guide to essential imaging findings for clinicians and radiologists.
