Abstract:
Skin is one of the major target organs during all stages of HIV. The present study is conducted to know the dermatological manifestations among 181 HIV positive patients over a period of 17 months ie, from 01-03-2006 to 31-08-2007 at Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences, Mandya. Of these 181 patients, skin diseases were seen in 82 patients (45.3%), 41 patients had only one dermatological disease, 25 had two, 10 had three and 6 patients had more than four diseases. It was observed that a total of 45.3% patients among the study group developed mucocutaneous manifestations. Therefore early recognition of mucocutaneous lesions will help in early diagnosis and better management of HIV/AIDS patients.
