METHODSCase Report. A 4-year-old black male child, born at term to an intravenous drug abusing mother, was admitted to the hospital with a several-day history of fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, anorexia, and increasing abdominal girth. He had been well until age 2 years, when generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatomcgaly, and failure to thrive were noted during a hospitalization for presumed viral pneumonia. Immunologic studies at the time revealed polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, reversed helper (T4) to suppressor (T8) T cell ratio, and seropositivity for antibodies to HIV. Except for a brief hospitalization because of another episode of presumed viral pneumonia, he remained apparently well until the current admission. Physical examination revealed an afebrile, undernourished child with weight at the 5th percentile and height below the 5th percentile for age. He had scleral icterus and generalized lymphadenopathy, with lymph nodes 0.5 to 1.0 cm in diameter. His abdomen was protuberant and somewhat tender. The liver was palpable 8 cm below the right costal margin, with a span of 11 cm. The spleen was not palpable.
