Abstract

In view of the frequency of the dermatological manifestations in patients who suffer from
AIDS/HIV, and with the objective of describing their behaviour, a descriptive,
observational, and cross sectional investigation was carried out in the cases of the AIDS
provincial consultation at Ernesto Guevara General Teaching Hospital of Las Tunas from
January, 2007 to June, 2008. The information was obtained from the survey, the
dermatological examination, and the clinical charts. The sample was made up of 43
patients, in which males and 31 to 40 age groups prevailed. There were no important
quantity differences between the seropositive number and AIDS cases. The 27, 9% had
dermatosis that made suspect the presence of the chronic retrovirus. The viral and the
mycotic diseases were the most frequent ones, being the neoplastic type and drug
reactions the least frequent ones. Other sexually transmitted diseases (STD) appeared
associated to the primary disease, mainly herpes simplex type II, and verruca acuminata.
