Abstract：One of the main conditions that children infected with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)frequently experience is malnutrition,which has a major role in hastening the development of HIV-related illnesses.Recent studies have shed light on the epidemiology of malnutrition in children living with HIV.There is not yet a standardized technique for evaluating nutritional status in Pediatric Infectious Diseases.A comprehensive nutritional assessment includes anthropometric measurements,body composition analysis,biochemical tests,clinical evaluations,and dietary assessments.In an effort to give medical practitioners scientific knowledge for nutrition management,this paper reviews nutritional evaluation techniques as well as the current status of malnutrition in children with HIV.
