Calcification, as a feature of the vasculopathy, is a common pathological finding in children with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Large and small blood vessels of many organs including brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and spleen are affected. We report a case with calcification in multiple organs that was most prominent in the cardiac and skeletal muscle cells and the blood vessels of the cerebrum. To our knowledge, calcification of this degree has not been documented previously in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected child.
钙化作为血管病变的一个特征，是获得性免疫缺陷综合征患儿常见的病理表现。包括脑、心脏、肺、肾、肝和脾在内的许多器官的大、小血管均受到影响。我们报告了一例多器官钙化的病例，其中心脏和骨骼肌细胞以及大脑血管中的钙化最为明显。据我们所知，这种程度的钙化在人类免疫缺陷病毒感染儿童中以前尚未有过记录。
