摘要
The incidence of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome [AIDS] in the pediatric population is increasing. Estimates are that in 1993 AIDS will be among the five leading causes of death in children. AIDS progresses more rapidly in children than in adults. It also has features that are unique to children, such as recurrent bacterial infections, bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue [BALT], and basal ganglia calcification. This review is written with emphasis on aspects of AIDS unique to children. Features of AIDS that are similar in adults are not discussed.
