“…In such countries Intensive Care Units resources are very limited. Studies such as those by Jeena et al [3], have previously suggested that the shortterm outcome of HIV infected children with severe upper airways obstruction is not significantly different from non-infected children. However we have found no previous studies considering the outcome of children with severe airways obstruction requiring tracheostomy.…”

“…Jeena et al [3] evaluated 38 children with laryngeal upper airway obstruction (LAO) in paediatric wards and intensive care units of which 19 were associated with HIV-1 infection while 16 children were HIV-1 uninfected. In their study, croup was the commonest diagnosis among HIV infected and HIV uninfected children (31.6% and 31.3%, respectively).…”

The HIV pandemic has affected children throughout the developing world. This article describes the experience of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. Over the last 20 years we have improved our management of HIV infected children requiring intensive care admission. In the absence of anti-retroviral therapy, long term outcomes from PICU admission of HIV infected children have not improved significantly, and it is debatable whether PICU admission is justified. Once anti-retroviral therapy is available to children, there may be significant improvements in outcome and possible affected children should be admitted to the PICU if resources are available.
