Abstract

We report 5 cases of HIV infected children, who presented with flu like symptoms and were diagnosed to have H1N1 infection (swine origin influenza). Four of these children were admitted with respiratory distress and pneumonia and were managed in swine flu isolation ICU. Two children required nonivasive ventilatory support. All children recovered completely and at discharge were referred for initiation of ART.
