Abstract: The AZT part of a study (ACTG 152), examining three different treatments for children (aged 3 months to 18 years) with sympomatic HIV infection, was stopped because the interim results showed AZT alone was the least effective of the three treatments, and children taking AZT alone had higher rates of side effects. The groups of children taking ddI alone and ddI with AZT will be continued. Further analysis will be conducted in 1995 after the study ends.
