Abstract
The patient was a dysmorphic newborn born to retropositive parents while the mother was on ART and needed resuscitation after birth. The child was lethargic since birth and had respiratory distress. Investigations revealed multiple congenital anomalies. A karyotyping was done which revealed a translocation between the long arm of chromosomes 18 and 22 with partial trisomy of chromosome 18.
