Children may develop AIDS if one or both of their par-ents fall into a high-risk group, such as bisexuals, iv drug abusers, hemophiliacs, recipients of blood transfusions, and Haitians [1, 2]. Although most children with AIDS have antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), little is known about the nature of the EBV infections and their clinical consequences in these children [1]. EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disease is common in patients with cer-tain immunodeficiency states, such as that associated with organ transplants [3]. Adults with AIDS have developed EBV-associated Burkitt's lymphoma [4]. Recently we found that lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis in children with AIDS is associated with EBV [4a]. The virus may also play a role in the hypergammaglobulinemia and polyclonal B cell activation that are so characteristic of juvenile AIDS [5]We have prospectively followed, over a period of two years, an infant with AIDS who developed an EBV-associated lymphoma that was detected first in the CNS. Our virological study of the infant and his mother form the basis of this report. These studies demonstrated a number of striking abnormalities in the nature of the progressive EBV infection in the infant.
