随着获得性免疫机能丧失综合症（艾滋病）/人体免疫机能丧失病毒（艾滋病毒）在世界各国蔓延，越来越多的婴儿出生时通过母亲感染艾滋病毒。在美国，到1987年，艾滋病已经成为1-4岁儿童死亡的第九大原因（1）。可以肯定的是，受感染的妇女和儿童的人数肯定会增加，特别是在那些男女感染率已经很高的国家，在这些国家，无论是行为的巨大变化的前景，还是疫苗的出现和应用，似乎都不可能阻止这种传播。最近在泰国静脉注射毒品使用者及其女性伴侣中出现了令人吃惊的感染情况（2，3），加勒比、巴西和几个非洲国家妇女感染的新数字也令人鼓舞。
As the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic spreads in countries around the world, an increasing number of infants are being born with HIV infection acquired through their mothers. In the United States, AIDS had already become the ninth leading cause of death in children aged 1-4 years by 1987 (1). It is certain that the number of infected women and hence children must rise still higher, especially in those countries where rates among both men and women are already high, and where neither the prospect of dramatic changes of behavior nor the advent and application of a vaccine seem likely to stem the spread. The recent startling advent of infection among intravenous drug users and their female partners in Thailand (2, 3) and the emerging figures on infection among women from the Caribbean, Brazil, and several African countries are not encouraging.
