The first pediatric case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) observed in Switzerland is described. The 3-year-old African/Swiss patient was most probably vertically infected from her asymptomatic, HTLV-III antibody positive Zairian mother. Clinical symptomatology started at 14 months of age, and diagnosis was made at 22 months when medical care and comprehensive investigation were initiated at this clinic. Review of the literature revealed 125 pediatric patients with AIDS. Based on these data, relevant and practically orientated information is given concerning definition, epidemiology, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, management, and prognosis of this newly recognized entity.
本文描述了在瑞士观察到的首例获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）儿科病例。这名3岁的非洲裔/瑞士籍患者很可能是由其无症状的、HTLV-III抗体呈阳性的扎伊尔母亲垂直传播感染的。临床症状于14个月大时开始出现，22个月大时确诊，当时在本诊所开始了医疗护理和全面检查。文献回顾显示有125例艾滋病儿科患者。基于这些数据，给出了关于这个新确认疾病的定义、流行病学、临床表现、实验室检查结果、治疗及预后等相关且具有实际指导意义的信息。
