 AB    Two cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in prepubertal children
       are described in which the predominant obsessive ruminations relate to
       fear of acquired immune deficiency (AIDS) contamination. The findings in
       these cases are discussed in relation to known demographic and clinical
       profiles of OCD in children and adolescents. Fear of AIDS contamination
       in childhood OCD may reflect the effect of the current emphasis on AIDS
       in potentially vulnerable children with environmental influences giving
       the symptoms their specific content.
