Oral HIV-associated Kaposi sarcoma
A clinical study from the Ga-Rankuwa area, South Africa
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is one of the most common neoplasms diagnosed in HIV-seropositive subjects.
Oral involvement is frequent and is associated with a poor prognosis.
The aim of this study was to characterize the features of oral HIV-KS in patients from Ga-Rankuwa, South Africa.
Twenty of the 37 patients in the study were females and 17 were males.
In 21 patients, the initial presentation of HIV-KS was in the mouth.
Other than the fact that females presented with larger (≥10mm) oral KS lesions, there were no statistically significant gender differences.
Significantly more patients presented with multiple oral HIV-KS lesions than with single lesions.
Nine patients developed concomitant facial lymphoedema, and these patients had a significantly lower CD4+ T cell count compared to the rest of the group.
The average CD4+ T cell count of the patients who died was significantly lower at the time of oral-KS presentation than of those who survived.
In Ga-Rankuwa, South Africa where HIV-KS is prevalent, oral KS affects similarly males and females.
A low CD4+ T cell count at the time of oral HIV-KS diagnosis and the development of facial lymphoedema portends a poor prognosis.
