 AB    Prenatal diagnosis of maternal diseases common to HIV infection may
       alert the clinician to potential HIV infection in the infant, with
       resultant early diagnosis and treatment. Although of limited value in
       the first months of life, imaging studies can be beneficial in selected
       cases and may be the first clue to the diagnosis of AIDS. The
       multisystem involvement frequently seen in AIDS necessitates multiple
       imaging modalities. Recurrent pneumonia, particularly Pneumocystis
       carinii pneumonia, may be first suggested by the chest radiograph. Brain
       atrophy and white matter disease, shown on MR imaging or CT early in
       life, can suggest AIDS. Ultrasonography is not only crucial for prenatal
       fetal assessment, but it also is important for evaluation of the common
       findings of hepatomegaly, adenopathy, and tumors, as well as
       inflammatory fluid collections.
