Abstract
In a prospective study, 60% of admissions to an academic hospital were infected with HIV. HIV infected children were younger, less likely to have been referred, more likely to have pneumonia and candidiasis, and had more health service attendances. This impact may be alleviated by appropriate primary and secondary level health care.
