Introduction
AIDS first recognized 1981

HIV RNA retrovirus discovered 1983

2nd leading cause of disease burden worldwide

Leading cause of death in Africa

Approx. 31-44 million people living with HIV


worldwide
The Global Situation of Pediatrics HIV
Infection
 HIV infection is a major cause of infant and childhood

mortality and morbidity in Africa

Each day in 2020 approximately 850 children become

infected with HIV and 330 children died from AIDS ,

mostly because of inadequate access to HIV

prevention ,care and treatment services


Pediatrics HIV infection in Ethiopia
The first HIV exposed newborn in Ethiopia was
identified in 1986
 The office’s projection for 2021 shows that at least
622,000 people live with the virus while the viruses cause
12,000 death annually
Currently the office estimated 86% of Ethiopian
living with HIV know their HIV positive status and
94% of them are currently receiving ART
 92% of pregnant women living with HIV accessed
the medicine , preventing 3700 new HIV infection
among newborn
Epidemiology
Mode of HIV transmission
MTCT
Sexual transmission among adolescents
Sexual abuse
Transfusion of infected blood or blood product
Un sterile injection 2.5%
95%HIV infected infant acquired from their mother
- During pregnancy
- During delivery
- Postnatal trough breast feeding
Cont epi
Risk of contracting infection dependent on
• Viral load
• Integrity of the exposed site
• Type of body fluid
• Volume of body fluid
Risk after a single exposure
• >90% blood or blood products
• 14% vertical
• 0.5-1% injection drug use
• 0.2-0.5% genital mucous membrane
• <0.1% non-genital mucous membrane
Time of transmission Transmission Rate(%)

During pregnancy 5-10


During labor and delivery 10-20
During breast feeding 5-20
Overall without breast feeding 15-30

Overall with breast feeding for 25-35


6mon
Overall with breast feeding for 30-45
18-24mon
Life cycle
Fusion  Entry  Transcription Integration 
Cleavage  Assembly  Budding
Pathogenesis
There are 2 type HIV
HIV 1
HIV 2 found in west Africa
- less pathogenic
- make no contribution to pediatrics AIDS
HIV 1 has many subtypes
- A and D east and central Africa
- C south Africa ,more virulent ,fast disease progression
high rate of MTCT
Cont pat
Anatomy of the HIV Virus
Gp120 Envelope Protein
Gp41 Envelope Protein
P17 matrix protein
P24 Capsule Protein

Reverse Transcriptase

The Lipid Membrane


Cont pat
Glycoproteins (gp 120, gp41)

2 copies of ssRNA, viral enzymes

Attachment with gp 120 to CD4 receptor

Fusion mediated by gp 41

Inside cell RNA transcribed to DNA by RT

DNA incorporated into cell genome

DNA is copied and translated to viral enzymes, proteases

New infectious virus buds from host cell to repeat process


Effect on immune system
CD4 cell depletion and dysfunction

Lymphoid tissue distraction

CD8 cell dysfunction

B cell abnormality

Thymes dysfunction

Auto immune dysfunction


Cont….
Gradual reduction in number of circulating CD4 cells
inversely correlated with the viral load
Any depletion in numbers of CD4 cells renders the body
susceptible to opportunistic infections
Lymphatic tissue (spleen, lymph nodes,
tonsils/adenoids) main reservoir of HIV
Natural history
With no intervention the majority of prenatally infected
children in Africa develop HIV related symptom by

6 months of age
Children prenatally infected has 3 category

Category 1 rapid progresser die with in 1 year(25-35%)

Category 2 die with in 3-5 years (50-60%)

Category 3 who live beyond 8 years (5-25%)


Primary Infection

 70-80% symptomatic, 3-12 weeks after exposure

 Fever, rash, cervical lymphadenopathy, aseptic


meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, polyneuritis
 Surge in viral RNA copies to >1 million

 Fall in CD4 count to 300-400

 Recovery in 7-14 days


Sero conversion
 3-12 weeks, median 8 weeks

 Level of viral load post seroconversion correlates with


risk of progression of disease
 Differential for this syndrome: EBV, CMV, Strep
pharyngitis, toxoplasmosis, secondary syphilis
Asymptomatic phase

 Remain well with no evidence of HIV disease


except for generalized lymphadenopathy
 Fall of CD4 count by about 50-150 cells per year
Symptomatic phase

DIAGNOSIS

• Clinical

virologic
Dx using IMCI algorithm

suggestive of HIV.
a child is classified as symptomatic HIV if any four of the
following are identified.
• Recurrent pneumonia
• Oral thrush
• Present or past ear discharge
• Persistent diarrhea
• Very low weight
• Enlarged lymph nodes
• Parotid enlargement
Diagnosis
Antibody test: ELISA, rapid test and western blot
Virologic test :HIV DNA PCR assays,

RNA assays (viral load, HIV immune complex-


dissociated p24 antigen assays, and HIV peripheral
blood mononuclear viral culture.

Ten-Point Package for Comprehensive Pediatric AIDS Care
1. Confirm HIV status as early as possible.
2. Monitor the child’s growth and development.
3. Ensure that immunizations are started and completed
4. Provide prophylaxis for opportunistic infections (PCP and TB)
5. Actively look for and treat infections early.
6. Counsel the mother and family on:
7. Conduct disease staging for the infected child.
8. Offer ARV treatment for the infected child
9. Provide psychosocial support to the infected child and mother.
10. Refer the infected child for higher levels of specialized care if
necessary, or for other social- or community-based support
programs

circumference).
 Determine physical condition of the child.
 Address ongoing medical problems, including skin and
dental problems and organ-specific complications of HIV
infection.
 Treat intercurrent infections, if present.
 Check the doses of the drugs.
 Monitor neurodevelopmental progress at 12-month
intervals
Laboratory Monitoring
 Repeat the CD4 count and % and viral load (where
available) at 6-month intervals.
 Repeat CBC and ALT after 1 month of treatment; if
normal, repeat these tests at 6-month intervals
If protease inhibitors are used, test fasting lipid profiles
(cholesterol and triglycerides) at baseline and then
annually
 PCP prophylaxis may be discontinued when the CD4 is
consistently >20%.
Adherence monitoring
Prevention
A four-pronged approach has been suggested for PMTCT of HIV

Prong 1: Primary Prevention of HIV Infection

Prong 2: Preventing Unintended Pregnancy Among HIV-
