Anthropometric indicators of human immunodeficiency virus infection in infants with early and late symptoms in the first months of life

Standardised growth indices (Z-scores of weight-for-age, WA, length-for-age, LA, weight-for-length, WL, according to the reference data of the World Health Organization) have been compared for the first 4 months of life among 119 infants born to mothers affected by the type-1 human immunodeficiency...

Description
Summary:Standardised growth indices (Z-scores of weight-for-age, WA, length-for-age, LA, weight-for-length, WL, according to the reference data of the World Health Organization) have been compared for the first 4 months of life among 119 infants born to mothers affected by the type-1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Infants were subdivided according to their HIV serostatus and the clinical expression of the disease. Uninfected status (n = 92), late (>6 months, n = 18) and early (
