Popis: Seven successive cases of acquired rectovaginal fistula have been diagnosed on children of three and half to eighteen months old. These fistula were localised on the fourchette. The seropositivity for HIV of five cases confirmed the results of similar reports found in literature. Surgical treatment of these girls was not done because of their bad presentation. Two of these children died. The other did not come for follow-up. The acquired rectovaginal fistula seems to be a sign of HIV infection. This work is meant to emphasise the relationship between AIDS and acquired rectovaginal fistula for a closer surveillance of future cases.
