Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome: a new population of children at risk

E R Cooper et al. Pediatr Clin North Am. 1988 Dec.

Abstract

Cases of AIDS in children have been described since 1982. Diagnosis is more complex in children than in adults owing to the more varied clinical presentations and the difficulty in interpretation of laboratory tests. Our current understanding of HIV infection in children is reviewed, as well as the controversies regarding medical, psychosocial, and public health issues.
