Dermatologic diseases are common in the HIV-infected population. Many of the cutaneous diseases are not unique to this group, but the presentation can be more severe. Although the introduction of antiretroviral therapy has been followed by a decline in many of the skin diseases associated with HIV, drug reactions and other non-infectious skin conditions have increased. This article reviews the current spectrum of HIV-associated skin conditions, focusing on common complaints, infections, drug-associated toxicity and malignancies.

“…The majority of skin lesions were associated with CD4 counts of <220/ul and all patients with skin lesions demonstrated a CD4: CD8 ratio of <0.5. Since most patients with skin lesions presented with stage 3 and 4 HIV infection, specific cutaneous manifestations were considered a good clinical indicator for the patient’s immune status [10]. …”

“…Desde el comienzo de la epidemia, fue notable la relación entre enfermedades de transmisión sexual y lesiones cutáneas inusuales, siendo una manifestación propia de la enfermedad y un reflejo del estado inmune del paciente (5) . Los pacientes VIH+ presentan una disminución sostenida en los linfocitos T CD4 además de una reducción marcada en el número de células de Langerhans, NK, macrófagos y monocitos, lo que explica la predisposición a la lesión cutánea.…”

RESUMENLa infección por VIH confiere al portador la susceptibilidad para desarrollar un conjunto de infecciones que normalmente no serían encontradas en un paciente inmunocompetente. En Colombia, en el año 2015, se reportaron 11.606 casos de infección por VIH. En este escrito documentamos el caso de un paciente con diagnóstico de infección por VIH, el cual desarrolló lesiones típicas de infección por el virus Varicela Zoster, y se documentó la evolución de las lesiones vesiculares hacia flictenas con necrosis local. Dada la presentación del caso, el diagnóstico de lesiones en piel en pacientes inmunocomprometidos o con infección por VIH se convierte en un reto para el profesional de la salud a la hora de establecer un diagnóstico etiológico, a fin de establecer un adecuado tratamiento de acuerdo a este.Palabras clave: VIH; sarcoma de kaposi; herpes zóster; enfermedades cutáneas infecciosas (Fuente: DeCS BIREME). Differential diagnosis of infectious skin lesions in an HIV-positive patient: a case report ABSTRACTHIV infection makes HIV carriers susceptible to develop a group of infections that would not normally be found in an immunocompetent patient. In Colombia, a total of 11,606 cases of HIV infection were reported in 2015. This paper documents the case of a patient diagnosed with HIV infection, who developed lesions typically caused by the varicellazoster virus. These vesicular lesions evolved into phlyctenas with local necrosis. Given the case presentation, the diagnosis of skin lesions in immunocompromised or HIV-infected patients becomes a challenge for health professionals when determining an etiological diagnosis, in order to establish an appropriate treatment.
