Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in Children with and Exposed to HIV
The update of the guideline concerns the following items:
August 3, 2023
Introduction
- Summarized key changes resulting from a rescoping consultation for the Pediatric Opportunistic Infection Guidelines in 2021 to better address the current needs of clinicians caring for children with and exposed to HIV.
- Updated the context and description for the use of the previous and new evidence rating systems.
- Combined the previous Summary and the Background and Recommendations Rating Scheme sections into a single Introduction section to streamline essential information and consolidate reference tools in one accessible location.
Cytomegalovirus
- Added a recommendation to test infants exposed to HIV for congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection due to high rates of CMV transmission among newborns with and exposed to HIV.
- Harmonized congenital CMV treatment recommendations for infants with HIV to match those for children without HIV based on American Academy of Pediatrics Red Book guidelines.
