    Abstract:
    The worldwide reemergence of tuberculosis (TB) is related to different factors, being one of them HIV infection and its immune suppressive effect. This epidemiological pattern is also observed in pediatric population. We describe the clinical/immunological evolution, and treatment administered to six children under control by the Chilean Pediatric AIDS Committee with vertically transmitted HIV infection, who acquired tuberculosis. A review of the literature is carried out in addition.
