Calcification, as a feature of the vasculopathy is a common pathologic al finding in children with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Large and small blood vessels of many organs including brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and spleen are affected. We report a case with calcifi cation in multiple organs that was most prominent in the cardiac and s keletal muscle cells and the blood vessels of the cerebrum. To our Kno wledge, calcification of this degree has not been documented previousl y in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected child.
