Abstract
ESCALERA MUNOZ, Carla Patricia; ESCOBAR CARRILLO, Melvy; COPANA OLMOS, Raul and CALDERON-LOPEZ, Maria Elena. HIV AND COVID-19 INFECTION IN A PEDIATRIC PATIENT: CASE REPORT. Rev Cient Cienc Méd [online]. 2022, vol.25, n.1, pp.73-78. Epub Sep 31, 2022. ISSN 1817-7433. https://doi.org/10.51581/rccm.v25i1.472.
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (H.I.V.) in advanced stages confers the carrier susceptibility to develop opportunistic infections. Little is known about COVID 19 in patients with HIV infection, and although the majority of patients in this group coincide with risk factors for poor prognosis when coinfected with COVID 19, very few cases have been reported referring to the subject. In this article we present a clinical case of a pediatric patient, with no significant pathological history, which after further studies went on to a diagnosis of HIV-AIDS / COVID 19.
