Noninfectious cutaneous manifestations of HIV infection in children.
Skin infections and proliferative conditions affecting the skin commonly occur in children with HIV/AIDS and are differentiated from infections in immunocompetent children by unusual severity and distribution and age at onset. Skin manifestations of HIV disease usually are the result of various causes,from concomitant infection to nutritional deficiencies. Photographs to aid in the identification and appreciation of the atypical presentation of skin manifestations resulting from noninfectious complications of pediatric HIV infection are presented.
