However, there is a paucity of information for Nigeria.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objective\u2002<\/jats:bold> To describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of cutaneous KS in patients with HIV\u2010infection in Benin City, Nigeria.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> All patients presenting to the dermatology and infectious diseases clinics of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, or admitted to its medical wards, within the period July\u00a02000\u2013June\u00a02005 were examined retrospectively in a chart review for KS. Diagnosis of HIV was based upon ELISA testing. The CD4+ cell counts were performed using the Dyna Bead method and KS was diagnosed histologically.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> In our survey, 31\u00a0patients, representing 0.84% of all new HIV patients seen during the study period, had cutaneous KS. There were 19\u00a0males and 12\u00a0females, giving a male to female ratio of 1.6\u00a0:\u00a01. The mean age was 36.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09\u00a0years; mean CD4+ count was 127\u00a0\u00b1\u00a014\u00a0 cells\/dl. The lower limbs (74.2%), trunk (48.4%) and the face (22.6%) were the most frequent sites affected. The lesions were solitary in three patients (9.7%) and multiple in 28\u00a0patients (90.3%).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> The prevalence of HIV\u2010related KS is increasing in Nigeria. There is an increase in the number of women being diagnosed with this form of KS, probably owing to more females having HIV disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2007.03016.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,2]],"date-time":"2007-03-02T17:19:02Z","timestamp":1172855942000},"page":"264-267","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Kaposi's sarcoma in Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Abel N.","family":"Onunu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cynthia","family":"Okoduwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emeka U.","family":"Eze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ademola A.","family":"Adeyekun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel P.","family":"Kubeyinje","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert A.","family":"Schwartz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"SerwinAB MysliwiecH WilderN et al.Three cases of classic Kaposi's sarcoma with different subtypes of Kaposi's sarcoma\u2010associated herpesvirus.Int J Dermatol2006;45:843\u2013846.","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2004.02465.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(96)90018-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/92.9.721"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jso.2930120403"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(02)00263-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"902","article-title":"Kaposi's sarcoma presenting in the homosexual man \u2013 a new and striking phenomenon!","volume":"38","author":"Borkovic SP","year":"1981","journal-title":"Ariz Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","first-page":"83","article-title":"Staging of classic Kaposi's sarcoma: a useful tool for therapeutic choices","volume":"13","author":"Brambilla L","year":"2003","journal-title":"Eur J Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.20606"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.2003.01909.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","first-page":"86","article-title":"Kaposi's sarcoma during HIV infection in Morocco (apropos of 50 cases)","volume":"96","author":"Chakib A","year":"2003","journal-title":"Bull Soc Pathol Exot"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","unstructured":"Joint United Nation Programme on HIV\/AIDS.
