dc.description.abstractMore than 60% of the estimated 40 million persons with HIV/AIDS worldwide live in sub-Saharan Africa, where poverty, social insecurity, food shortages and malnutrition are major problems.1 In children under the age of 5 years, who live in developing countries, malnutrition has been associated with 50% of the 10.8 million deaths mainly caused by neonatal disorders, diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria and HIV/AIDS.2 Likewise micronutrient deficiencies are widespread and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality particularly in relation to infectious diseases.3 This review focuses on the interaction between micronutrients and HIV/AIDS and discusses recent research findings that may have important public health implications in terms of the case management of persons with HIV/AIDS.
