- ABSTRAK AIDS has been a pandemic and affects all age groups. Children are infected (80%) by vertically route mostly near or at delivery. Because heterosexual transmission of HIV among adults is more and more important it is projected that at the end of this century there will be totally more than 10 million HIV infected children. Three quarters of HIV infected babies show non specific symptoms at the early phase, including failure to thrive, chronic diarrhea, recurrent bacterial infections, mucocutaneus infections. Cy totropism of HIV to nerve cells results in neurologic abnormalities and developmental milestone regression or developmental retardation. Pneumocystic carinii infection has worse prognosis than lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia that is more common occured in HIV infected children. Diarrhea is a troublesome problem, while Kaposi's sarcoma and secondary cancer are rare in pediatric AIDS. Children who shows AIDS manifestations will die in the same year of diagnosis, whereas asymptomatic HIV infected children will live longer with high risk of recurrent and opportunistic infections. The hallmark of AIDS is the decrease of the number and function of CD4+ lymphocyte. This in turn influences the functions of other immunocompetent cells and decreasing immunity is the result. Routine immunization including BCG, OPT, polio and measles should be carried out on FIIV infected children as usual. Only BCG is not done on children with clinical manifestations of AIDS. The destruction of the families by AIDS will result in abandoned children and a great number of orphans. By the year 2000 there will be 10-15 million orphaned children. Paris Declaration on Women, Children and AIDS in 1989 recommended efforts of prevention and control of HIV /AIDS for women and children.
