“…ABRs were recorded immediately prior to and then 6 and 12 months following initiation of therapy. At the initial test date, the ABR results indicated a prolonged I-V interpeak latency, however, the I-V IPI progressively shortened over the 12 months and could not be attributed to maturation alone (Brivio et al, 1991). Similarly, Schmitt et al (1992) reported a case study involving a 7-year-old child before and after treatment with AZT, documenting the return of normal ABR IPI following AZT treatment.…”

“…Brady et al (1996), in the largest study to date, with children aged 3 months to 12 years, found an improvement in cognitive abilities over a 36-month protocol, with improvement most marked for patients 6 years or older. In addition to treatment resulting in improved cognitive status, several studies of small samples have demonstrated improved adaptive functioning with antiretroviral treatment (Brivio, Tornaghi, Musetti, Marchisio, & Principi, 1991 ;Brouwers et al, 1994 ;Moss et al, 1994). A treatment study with 25 children aged 1 to 12 (mean age of 5.3 years) found that half of the group was encephalopathic at baseline .…”

Worldwide, more than one million children are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and in the United States it has become the sixth leading cause of death among 15-24-year-olds. Despite the trend of increasing rates of infection, advances in therapies have led to survival past 5 years of age for more than 65% of infected children. This global health threat will therefore continue to have a significant impact on child and adolescent psychiatry and psychology. This paper reviews current studies and reports on the consequences of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic in the psychiatric care and development of children and adolescents infected by HIV. From a search of all the English-language-based literature on pediatric AIDS, 140 studies are reviewed which address HIV infection and its psychological and social implications. Several topics of mental health significance are examined: (1) the epidemiology of HIV, (2) neurocognitive development among those infected, (3) psychological impact of infection, and (4) the family and social context of HIV. The transition of HIV from an acute, lethal disease to a subacute, chronic disease has enormous implications for the neurocognitive and psychosocial development of children and families. As children and adolescents infected with HIV continue to live longer, normal developmental milestones and educational needs will take on new significance. Many children will continue to be adversely impacted by non-HIV factors such as poverty, inadequate medical services, and a lack of social support. This review outlines recent developments that hold promise to effectively reduce the treatment burden on the infected, their families, and health care providers and to decrease the incidence of transmission to the uninfected.

“…Brivio et al 37 descreveram o caso de um menino de 6.5 meses de idade que foi tratado com zidovudine (AZT) por 12 meses, tendo sido avaliado por meio da pesquisa dos potenciais evocados auditivos de tronco encefálico pré e pós-tratamento. As latências interpicos I-V foram reduzidas significativamente no período do estudo, mudança que não poderia ter sido atribuída exclusivamente ao processo maturacional.…”

RESUMOTema: a Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida (SIDA/AIDS) é causada pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (VIH/HIV), e resulta numa imunidade reduzida, o que torna o indivíduo mais susceptível a doenças e infecções oportunistas. Com o avanço da doença as estruturas do sistema auditivo central podem ser comprometidas pela ação direta do vírus ou decorrente de infecções secundárias e neoplasias. O portador do HIV/AIDS pode também se tornar mais vulnerável a outras patologias do ouvido. Objetivo: o objetivo desta revisão foi exploratório, visando identificar os possíveis pontos de interseção entre distúrbios auditivos e a Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida. Realizou-se uma revisão da literatura sobre a saúde auditiva dos portadores de HIV/AIDS e foi discutido o impacto potencial de patologias auditivas na qualidade de vida. Conclusão: a literatura sugere que várias possiveis associações existam entre os distúrbios auditivos e a Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida e o Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana. Profissionais de saúde, inclusive aqueles dos serviços públicos no Brasil, deveriam examinar a necessidade de iniciativas de saúde auditiva dirigida aos portadores de HIV/AIDS para prevenir patologias auditivas ou reduzir seu impacto na qualidade de vida.
