AB In Europe the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic in children is
an important public health problem. Reliable epidemiological information
varies widely among countries, and there is no standard method to
document the pandemia. By September 1992, a total of 81,849 AIDS cases
were identified. France had 21,487, Spain 15,678 and Italy 14,784 (63%
of all cases). The highest rate per 100,000 inhabitants occurred in
Spain (88.9), France had 70.6 and Italy 63.5. The numbers of HIV+
newborns (NB) in Spain were 4673, in Italy 2,693, in Belgium 368, in
Scotland 79 and in Holland 11. The highest rate of HIV+ NBs per 100,000
inhabitants occurred in Spain (120.1), the lowest in Holland (0.73). In
Western Europe, 82% of all cases were due to vertical transmission.
Mothers' venous drug use was the most common form of HIV transmission.
