Przypadek 2,5-letniego chłopca z objawami kardiomiopatii rozstrzeniowej w przebiegu zakażenia HIV

As the number of children infected with HIV rises so does the number of patients with cardiac complications. These complications are miscellenous with uncharacteristic symptoms. Children with congestive cardiomiopathy resulting from HIV infection may manifest symptoms and signs of cardiac failure but most frequently the clinical course mimics infection of the respiratory system. All HIV positive children with symptoms suggesting respiratory tract infection must be evaluated cardiologically. In this paper we present an HIV infected 2,5 year old boy with congestive cardiomiopathy.
