From 1980 to 1987, 15 children infected by HIV were born in Guyana from seropositive Haitian mothers. All these children presented the classical picture of HIV infection associated with a chronic extensive prurigo (7/15). There were 8 AIDS and 7 ARC cases. Five infants (4 AIDS, 1 ARC) died during the first year of life. There were 2 different clinical forms: 1) a severe form with cryptosporidium diarrhea and severe neurologic disturbance (one infant who died from neonatal AIDS at 3 months of age); 2) a prolonged form lasting several years complicated with infections, mainly localised to the lung.
