Abstract
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is not uncommon in HIV-infected children with advanced disease,and has been described mainly due to nephrotoxic anti-retroviral therapy and in association with prophylaxis or treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia with co-trimoxazole. We describe an 8-year-old boy,newly diagnosed to have HIV infection,who presented with distal RTA. There were no features of chronic RTA in the form of rickets or nephrocalcinosis,making an inherited form unlikely.
