Protein S and protein C deficiency with multiple infarcts in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected female child.

Thrombotic episodes have occurred in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and various abnormalities leading to hypercoagulable state have been reported. However, multiple cerebral infarctions in an HIV-infected child along with protein S and protein C deficiency are rare. We report such a case in an antiretroviral therapy-naive HIV-infected female child.
