"The remarkable case of a baby being cured of HIV infection in the United States using readily available drugs has raised new hope for eradicating the infection in infants worldwide, but scientists say it will take a lot more research and much more sensitive diagnostics before this hope becomes a reality," Reuters reports (Steenhuysen, 3/4). "The toddler's case, if confirmed in further research, could have important implications for treatment of more than 300,000 babies born with the virus each year -- mostly in the developing world," the Wall Street Journal writes, noting, "The baby is the second person ever documented to be cured of the virus during the 32-year global AIDS epidemic" after "a man named Timothy Brown and known as the Berlin patient, was cured as an adult as a result of a bone-marrow transplant he received to treat his leukemia" (Winslow, 3/4).
