Abstract

Dermatologic conditions are common during infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and they are usually the first manifestation of HIV which ensure early diagnosis and prompt treatment [1]. They act as diagnostic factors in the monitoring of immune status of the patients [2]. More than 90% of patients develop skin lesions and 30%-80% of patients develope oral manifestations during the disease. Mucocutaneous lesions in HIV patients have been correlated with CD4 counts in many studies as serial CD4 counts have a prognostic significance which are used as markers for assessing progression from HIV infection to AIDS [3]. Thus the objective of our study was to report their frequency, their type in correlation with the rate of CD4.
