Abstract

 Introduction: Opportunistic infections are generally seen in children with severe depression of the CD4 count. Young children generally have primary infection and, lacking prior immunity often have a more fulminant course of disease. The peak incidence of PCP occurs at age 3–6 months with the highest mortality rate in children <1 year of age. Methods: All the children who fit to inclusion criteria were clinically evaluated and investigated. Data was collected by using a pre tested semi structured questionnaire. Results: All the 24 symptomatic children experienced weight loss and fever, making them the most common symptomatology. Conclusion: Oral thrush (fungal), diarrheal disease and tuberculosis predominated the picture in the HIV positive children of this region.
