Mucocutaneous Manifestations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection in Relation to the Degree of Immunosuppression
Abstract: Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is becoming a common occurrence. Worldwide, limited studies have been done on the mucocutaneous manifestations in HIV-positive patients. The aim of our study was to analyze the spectrum of mucocutaneous manifestations of HIV infection and correlate to degree of immunosuppression. Material and methods, 72 patients with HIV, who presented to the departments of dermatology were examined for mucocutaneous manifestations. Patients were classified into four groups of immunodeficiency such as normal(CD4 count >500cells/mm3), mild(CD4 350-499), advanced(CD4 200-349) and severe(CD4
