• A study of maternal complications after elective Caesarean section in HIV‐infected women was carried out from January 1999 to April 2001. The control group consisted of all the seronegative pregnant women who underwent the elective Caesarean section during the study period. The study group was divided into two subgroups. Subgroup 1 patients were given 600 mg zidovudine (ZDV) orally and 300 mg lamivudine (3TC) daily from 34 to 38 weeks’ gestation. Subgroup 2 patients were given 600 mg ZDV orally daily from 34 to 38 weeks’ gestation and 150 mg nevirapine orally on the morning of the Caesarean section day. In both groups, the elective Caesarean section was carried out at 38 weeks’ gestation and ZDV syrup (2 mg/kg) was given orally to the newborn immediately in the operating theatre and then every 6 h for 4 weeks. No statistically significant differences in maternal complications were found between the HIV‐infected and non HIV‐infected women.
