Abstract: Recently, we and others have encountered a group of infants who developed AIDS. They were born from parents who belonged to identified risk factors for AIDS. The clinical and immunologic features were described. The existence of a pediatric form of AIDS transmitted other than by transfusion suggests the possibility of transplacental perinatal or postnatal transmission.
