Introduction
AIDS first recognized 1981
Reverse Transcriptase
Fusion mediated by gp 41
B cell abnormality
Thymes dysfunction
6 months of age
Children prenatally infected has 3 category
• Fever
• Diarrhea
• CD4<50
• CMV retinitis, gastroenteritis
• Clinical
• Laboratory
antibody
virologic
Dx using IMCI algorithm
The IMCI guidelines in most countries now include symptoms
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,
STAGE 1
Asymptomatic
• HIV encephalopathy
Skin and Oral disease
• Seborrheic dermatitis
• Xeroderma
• Itchy folliculitis
• Scabies
• Tinea
• Herpes zoster
• Papillomavirus
• Oral and vaginal candidiasis
• Oral hairy leukoplakia
• Aphthous ulcers
• Herpes simplex
• Gingivitis
• Kaposi’s sarcoma
• Molluscum contagiosum
• Bacillary angiomatosis
GI disease
• Esophageal candidiasis
• Large bowel disease (bloody diarrhea)
• C. diff
• CMV
• Small bowel disease (watery diarrhea)
• Cryptosporidium
• Microsporidium
• Giardia
• MAC
• CMV
Pulmonary Disease
• Pneumocystis pneumonia
• Bacterial pneumonia
• LIP
• Nocardia
Pneumocystis pneumonia(pcp)
Most common AIDS presenting illness
• Cryptococcosis
• PML
• CMV retinitis
• Developmental regression
• Peripheral neuropathy
Pre-Treatment Assessment
The following evaluations should be part of the pre-
treatment assessment:
Complete clinical assessment
Neurodevelopmental assessment
Weight, length/height, and head circumference
Complete blood count (CBC)
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
Chest radiograph
CD4 count
Viral load
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
Antiretroviral
Protease inhibitors
Fusion inhibitors
R5/X4 inhibitors
NRTIs
• ddC
• ddI
• 3TC
• ZDV
• d4T
• Abacavir
• FTC
NNRTIs
• Nevirapine
• Efavirenz
• Delavirdine
PIs
• Indinavir
• Saquinavir

Side effects
NRTIs: mitochondrial dysfunction
• ddC, ddI, d4T: neuropathy
• d4T, ddI: hepatic steatosis, lactic acidosis
• ddI: pancreatitis
• ZDV: anemia
• d4T: fat atrophy
• Abacavir: hypersensitivity reaction
• Tenofovir: renal failure
• NNRTIs: rash, liver toxicity
• PIs: fat redistribution, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia
• Indiavir: renal stones
• Nelfinavir: diarrhea
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Clinical monitoring
frequency of visit-2wk,monthly for the 1st
3months,then every3-6months
At each visit:
Plot physical growth (weight, length/height, and head
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
