Abstract:

Background: Being the largest organ of the body, the skin often plays a vital role in not only aiding in the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, but also as an indicator of possible treatment failure, poor treatment compliance and as a sensitive indicator of clinical regression in patients already on treatment. This case study seeks to point out cutaneous signs that may indicate severe immune suppression secondary to HIV/AIDS.
