Dr. Nitya Vyas, Dr. Babita Sharma

Abstract :

In children, majority of infection occurs through vertical transmission, before, during and after birth. Rarely horizontal transmission has been documented, by other unusual incidents as transfusion of contaminated blood products, sexual abuse and reuse of needles. Here we present a case: An 11-month-old HIV-positive infant with HIV-negative parents presented with fever, diarrhea and weight loss. The milestones of the baby were normal and he was vaccinated as per schedule. The baby was reported positive for HIV antibodies and further confirmed by DNA PCR. Parents were negative for HIV by antibodies and PCR.
