The case of a Cuban child with AIDS acquired by perinatal transmission is reported. Thirteen days after birth, the child had chronic diarrhoeas affecting its pondostatural development. It was hospitalized many times due to recurrent respiratory processes, in one of which Pneumocystis carinii was detected. Oral candidiasis, cryptosporidiosis and intestinal amebiasis in faeces were also diagnosed. It died with generalized tonic-clonic convulsions and bradypnea. At autopsy, the direct death cause was endocranial hypertension due to unspecific sub-acute viral meningitis.
