13 month old Martha is an HIV positive baby who started ART very late and has developed an abscess on her right armpit – around the lymph node below the arm where her BCG was done. This case goes through the routine treatment of an exposed baby. These films follow children over time, recording clinic visits or admissions to hospital, stopping to ask questions whenever treatment decisions need to be made. Suggested answers are contained in accompanying notes, which can be downloaded below. Editable versions for adapting to different settings can be obtained from info@picturinghealth.org.
