Background: Studies on HIV disclosure and adherence among children performed in Latin America are anecdotal. We aimed to assess the factors associated with HIV disclosure, adherence and viral suppression among Ecuadorian children and compare the psychologic consequences and the impact on adherence and viral suppression of early against late disclosure age.
Methods: Cross-sectional study using a questionnaire and collected data on medical records of HIV-infected children between 6 and 21 years of age in Ecuador.
Background: Few congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) cases have been notified in Ecuador and, to our knowledge, there are no significant published studies dealing with their clinical evolution. We present a detailed clinical characterization of 21 children with congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) infection born in Ecuador who were followed up until September 2019.
Methods: We did a retrospective longitudinal study of children attended by the infectious disease specialists of Francisco Icaza Bustamante Children's Hospital (Guayaquil) due to congenital ZIKV infection suspicion.
