This is a rare case of new onset Kaposi sarcoma in a man infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and receiving antiretroviral treatment since primary HIV infection, with normal CD4(+) cell count and suppressed viral load. The presentation questions the general understanding of Kaposi sarcoma as an acquired immune deficiency syndrome-defining disease occurring predominantly in severely immunocompromised patients infected with HIV.
这是一例罕见的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染患者新发卡波西肉瘤病例,该患者自原发性 HIV 感染以来一直接受抗逆转录病毒治疗,CD4(+)细胞计数正常,病毒载量得到抑制。该病例的表现对卡波西肉瘤作为获得性免疫缺陷综合征的定义性疾病的普遍认识提出了质疑,这种疾病主要发生在严重免疫功能低下的 HIV 感染患者中。
