Abstract
Missed opportunities for the prevention of MTCT were identified in eight of the nine HIV-infected infants (89 %). Administration of AZT during labor in HIV-infected mothers and triple therapy for the prevention of MTCT in high risk infants is not universal. Hospital admission in young infants at risk might lead to suspicion of infection in infants born to HIV-infected mothers. Improved implementation of all the preventive measures for MTCT should be encouraged.
