Cutaneous, mucosal, and nail examination is the key to unveiling a plethora of systemic diseases. Mucocutaneous lesions directly related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection usually present as initial manifestations of immune deficiency, of which few lesions act as predictors of an immunocompromised state. Here, we report two cases who presented with onycho-mucocutaneous symptoms which raised the suspicion of and invariably led to the diagnosis of an underlying immunosuppression secondary to HIV infection.
皮肤、黏膜和指甲检查是揭示众多全身性疾病的关键。与人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染直接相关的黏膜皮肤病变通常表现为免疫缺陷的初始症状,其中很少有病变可作为免疫功能受损状态的预测指标。在此,我们报告两例出现甲床-黏膜皮肤症状的病例,这些症状引发了对潜在HIV感染继发免疫抑制的怀疑,并最终确诊。
