The present case is a 5 y old child with Pre-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), presenting with fever, pallor, purpuric spots, hepato-splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy of 20 d duration. During re-induction chemotherapy, he developed atypical skin lesions diagnosed as Varicella Zoster infection. He and his parents tested positive for anti HIV antibody. He entered complete remission and Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) along with maintenance chemotherapy has been initiated 3 mon ago. Acute leukemia is rare in HIV and probably this is the first case of Pre-B Acute Leukemia in association with perinatally transmitted HIV.
