[Mucocutaneous manifestations in acute HIV infection. 3 case reports].
We report three patients who developed a generalized rash with oral, genital or perianal ulcerations as a result of acute infection due to HIV. The primary infection was diagnosed by seroconversion (by means of EIA and Western blot techniques). Definitive diagnosis was established on days 52, 85 and 97 after the appearance of the rash. The p24 protein of the HIV was only detected in the early phase of the disorder in the two cases in which this study was carried out.
