“…Kaposi's sarcoma was seen only in two patients; this could be due to a low prevalence of HHV 8 in Indian population. 24 Among the two who had Kaposi's sarcoma, the CD4 count one patient had a CD4 <200, which is similar to the case reported by Moraes et al, 25 and the second patient had a CD4 count between 200 and 499, which is similar to that reported by Vieira et al 26 Among the systemic comorbidities observed, the most prevalent were pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, and systemic candidiasis. In HIV-infected patients, tuberculosis could be the initial sign of the HIV infection and is also the most common opportunistic infection.…”

Além de afetar todo o corpo e poder se disseminar para os órgãos, de acordo com Moraes et al (2012) o SK oral é o mais predominante quando relacionado à AIDS, afetando principalmente palato duro, tecidos e dorso da língua.…”
