    Abstract

    Survival in HIV-infected children has greatly improved with the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Children are more vulnerable than adults to metabolic side effects of therapy because of its potential impact on growth and the children's likely greater cumulative exposure. This review summarizes the epidemiology and management of lipodystrophy, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hyperlactatemia, osteopenia and growth failure in HIV-infected children.
