AB BACKGROUND. In Manipur, a state in northeast India bordering Myanmar,
within one year of reports of a high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
seroprevalence among young injecting drug users, there has been a rapid
spread of HIV infection in the general population. METHODS. Since 1990
our unit, together with the Medical Directorate, Government of Manipur,
has studied different aspects of this epidemic, especially the natural
history of HIV in this setting. RESULTS. Here we report the first case
of herpes zoster in a 14-month-old HIV-positive baby (diagnosed by the
polymerase chain reaction). The case was referred to our clinic by one
of our patients residing in the same locality as the child and presently
working as a counsellor in a drug detoxification-cum-rehabilitation
centre at Imphal, Manipur. Dual infection of HIV and herpes zoster was
also found in several other members of the same family. CONCLUSION. This
report of perinatally acquired HIV infection in an environment of
injecting drug users in India might help in understanding the course of
paediatric HIV infection here.
