Seventeen-year-old mother-to-child HIV type 1 transmission identified by phylogeny and signature patterns

AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses. 2008 Aug;24(8):1117-20. doi: 10.1089/aid.2007.0281.

Abstract

A case, in which the clinical suspicion of perinatal HIV transmission of a newly diagnosed 17-year-old woman was supported by the phylogenetic analyses of pol sequences obtained for routine resistance testing and further substantiated by analyses of gag and env, is described.
