[Children with AIDS. Treatment plan and procedure of care].

The authors discuss treatment provided to children suffering from Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and to their families. By means of checking the nursing files for hospitalized children, the authors observe alterations and omissions which are common to other diseases, plus those which are specifically related to this disease: psychosocial problems. A treatment plan and an assistance procedure are drawn up. In these, the role the family plays to support the patient as well as that of the multidisciplinary team are emphasized.
