Skin disorders influence human lives in various ways and many a times the dermal epidermal conditions point some internal ongoing serious disease (6). A vast majority of skin diseases are treated on the basis of clinical diagnosis without confirmation through biopsy. Microscopic examination is mandatory for verification and precise diagnosis and to direct the clinician to opt suitable treatment (7). Considering their importance, the research work being done on the prevalence of specific disorders in particular regions in our country appears deficient especially considering the clinicopathological consonance. The current research was outlined to acumen the skin diseases related burden in our institute. Aim & Objective: The aim of this research is to evaluate the histopathological diversity of skin diseases and their prevalence in Multan region along with the clinic-pathological consonance. Study Design: Retrospective cross sectional study Place and Duration: Histopathology and dermatology departments of Bakhtawar Amin Medical & Dental College and Trust Hospital Multan, from January 2020 to December 2022. Material and Methods: Histopathological reports of all skin biopsies were sorted. The required data like age, gender, clinical presentation, site of the lesion, dermatologist’s findings, and their clinical provisional impression with differential diagnoses were documented along with the histopathological microscopic opinion. The particulars were gathered from clinical files, histopathological demand forms and documented reports. Results: A sum of 510 skin biopsies was received in histopathology section. Out of these, 280 (54.9%) were females and remaining 230 (45.1%) were males. The mean age was 34.70 years (ranging from 2 to 84 years). Most of them were between ages 16-30 years.

BackgroundPatients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may present a large variety of skin manifestations, often associated with significant morbidity. In turn, dermatological diseases may represent an early sign of HIV infection, particularly in resource‐limited settings.ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the spectrum of dermatological diseases and their potential value as clinical proxies for the early detection and management of HIV in a rural region of Ethiopia.MethodsThe study was performed on a population of 67,161 patients with skin diseases attending the Italian Dermatological Center in Mekele, Tigray region, Ethiopia. HIV infection was diagnosed in 1892 individuals (1065 female), all naïve to antiretroviral therapy.ResultsInfectious skin diseases were present in 57.2% of the total HIV population. Among the infectious skin manifestations, dermatophytosis (20.5%), impetigo (5.9%), candidiasis (4.7%) and molluscum contagiosum (4.7%) were significantly more represented in patients with HIV infection (p < 0.001). Regarding the noninfectious manifestations, pruritus and atrophy of the papillae on the tongue were significantly associated with HIV (p < 0.001). Notably, females had a significantly higher incidence of dermatophytosis and seborrheic dermatitis as compared to their male counterparts (p < 0.001), whereas scabies, psoriasis and leishmaniasis were significantly more frequent in males (p < 0.001).ConclusionsSkin manifestations are common in HIV patients, often reflecting compromised immune status. In addition, Dermatophytosis and pruritus were the most frequently reported manifestations of HIV, thus representing useful clinical proxies to raise the suspicion of an underlying HIV infection. Besides, gender differences in skin manifestations should also be considered in the clinical evaluation.
