Mhd Abdul Rafey Farooqui, Habib G Pathan

Abstract :

 Cutaneous disorders are not only associated with terminal immunodeficiency but they occur throughout the course of HIV infection. More than 90% of patients with HIV infection develop skin or mucous memane conditions at some time during the course of their disease, in many of these patients skin is the first and only organ affected. A Hospital based cross sectional study was carried out among 132 patients from outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital to study the profile of HIV positive patients with muco cutaneous lesions. The striking feature is that maximum number of patients i.e. 60 (45.5%) were in the age group of 31– 40 years. Amongst females housewife (30/50) is the largest group having muco cutaneous lesions. One housewife had accepted Commercial Sex work as Secondary occupation. Among males Farmer (25/82) was the largest group. This data signifies the changing pattern of disease prevalence among common people and rural areas. Maximum number of patients (96.1%) had a previous history of some or other skin lesion, STD or Kochs. 18% patients had a history of STD.
