Abstract
The AIDS epidemic has contributed to an abrupt
increase of the incidence of Kaposi sarcoma, especially
in Sub-Saharan Africa, to values tens of times higher
than in the pre-epidemic era. There is, however, very little
literature concerning the clinical features of this disease
and its management and outcome in HIV-positive
children in Africa.
