          Abstract

          Highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) is increasingly becoming available for HIV infected children in South Africa. We describe a 7-year-old HIV infected child (CD4=10, viral load =180,669copies/ml) who develops a cryptococcal meningitis, with raised intracranial pressure, complicated by ADEM and disseminated Herpes simplex infection following commencement of HAART.
