Kaposi sarcoma in a Thai boy with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Kaposi sarcoma is rare in children with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We report a 3-year-old boy with AIDS and Kaposi sarcoma of the skin and lymph node. This patient is the only one with this disease among 278 children with AIDS who have been seen at Chiang Mai University Hospital. He responded well to intravenous vincristine.
