Features of the clinical course of concomitant infections in HIV-infected children under the age of 14

HIV infection is a viral disease of the immune system, leading to a sharp decrease in the body's resistance to opportunistic microbes, as well as an increased propensity to oncological diseases, ending in an inevitable fatal outcome. A child is born with an imperfect immune system. The final formation of immunity occurs only by the age of sixteen. Therefore, HIV, the main target of which is just the immune system, causes serious harm to the child's body.
