Of the 474 HIV-infected pregnant women, 63% were deficient in vitamin A. The mothers were divided into six groups according to their vitamin A levels. Infant mortality was then evaluated in each group. The results showed that vitamin A deficiency in HIV-mothers can contribute to increased infant mortality, thus highlighting the necessity of an appropriate vitamin intake during pregnancy.
