The Parameters of Physical Development, Dynamics of Laboratory Tests and Death Rate in Hiv-Positive and Hiv-Exposed Children

Abstract

We have performed the retrospective comparison of the parameters of physical development (circumference of head and chest, body weight and length), dynamics of laboratory tests, death rate in 103 HIV-positive and 77 HIV-exposed children. The majority of the studied parameters were within the normal range. The differences between the groups revealed in the follow up might be used for HIV status prognosis.
