Epidemiological Characteristics of Dermatological Diseases during HIV/AIDS Infection

Objectives: Currently, the incidence of muco-cutaneous disease during infection has changed after the introduction of new antiretroviral therapy and means of screening for infection. A better knowledge of the characteristics of these dermatoses will help us in the future to a better care of the patients. This document aims to list muco-cutaneous diseases and STIs in patients living with HIV/AIDS and to better know their epidemiological characteristics. Methodology: This is a retrospective descriptive study carried out on HIV/AIDS cases with dermatoses and/or STIs, treated in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology of the Hospital and University Center of Oran Algeria, over a period from January 1, 2009 to April 30, 2018. Results: Of the 116 HIV/AIDS cases treated for a dermatological condition, 105 cutaneous and mucosal manifestations were reported. More than 17% of cases had an association of two dermatoses and 7.5% of cases had a combination of dermatitis and an STI. In terms of frequency of dermatoses, venereal condylomas were the most contracted by patients with a rate greater than 15%, followed by seborrheic dermatitis (11.2%) and Kaposi's disease (6.8%). Conclusion: This study revealed the incidence of the most common skin and mucosal conditions in dermatology in HIV/AIDS cases. It also allowed us to compare our results with international series studies. Citation: Khelil A, Messid H, Chiali A, Boumehdi A, Tilmatine T, et al.
