Abstract:
Because children acquire HIV infection differently than adults, this article begins with a discussion of the epidemiology of AIDS in children. This is followed by a discussion of factors related to progression of the disease and survival in pediatric AIDS. A discussion of the pulmonary manifestations in children is followed by a suggested approach to the HIV-infected child with respiratory symptoms.
