 AB    In Romania, the percentage of children infected by HIV or suffering from
       AIDS is very high with respect to adults: in 1991, 54% of children with
       AIDS in Europe were from Romania. Contamination occurred mainly after
       transfusion with HIV infected blood. Molluscum contagiosum is a benign
       viral condition in immuno-competent children but in children with AIDS
       cutaneous lesions are numerous and disseminated. In the Cernavoda
       Orphanage, we have examined 50 children with AIDS and found 74% of them
       with Molluscum contagiosum. Lesions were located mainly on the head and
       the face.
