Up to this moment, 25 children have been born from mothers seropositive to HIV. Of these, only 12 who are seropositive have been studied. Four of these children had developed the disease (33.3%), and the route of transmission was a blood transfusion. From the moment they were born, these children had been followed up monthly at the out-patient service and the polymerase chain reaction test, as well as ELISA and western blot is performed at 3, 6, and 9 months of age. Also, the same test are performed at 18 and 36 months of age for diagnostic confirmation in order to know whether they are virus carriers.
截至目前,已有25名儿童由感染艾滋病毒抗体呈阳性的母亲所生。其中,仅对12名抗体呈阳性的儿童进行了研究。这些儿童中有4名已患上该疾病(33.3%),传播途径为输血。自出生起,这些儿童每月在门诊接受随访,并在3、6和9个月大时进行聚合酶链反应检测以及酶联免疫吸附测定和蛋白质印迹法检测。此外,在18和36个月大时也进行同样的检测以确诊,从而了解他们是否为病毒携带者。
