Introducción:

entre los principales problemas de salud a nivel mundial está el síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA), el cual favorecen la producción de afecciones dermatológicas resistentes al tratamiento como las infecciones oportunistas y los tumores malignos.

Objetivo:

presentar un caso de sarcoma de Kaposi en un paciente joven con diagnóstico de VIH/SIDA.

Presentación del caso:

paciente de 32 años, blanco, masculino con diagnóstico de infección por el VIH desde hace ocho años, con inadecuado control de su enfermedad, que acude a consulta dermatológica por presentar lesiones en la piel que se han extendido rápidamente, en forma de placas sobreelevadas de tamaño variable, amarronadas o eritematovioláceas, sin síntomas subjetivos asociados. Se sospecha el diagnóstico de Sarcoma de Kaposi por la clínica y se confirma por estudio histopatológico. El paciente se trata con terapia antirretroviral y quimioterapia, pocas semanas después se complica con un sangramiento digestivo alto y fallece.

Conclusiones:

resulta esencial el cumplimiento de la terapia antirretroviral y el adecuado seguimiento y control del paciente que vive con VIH/SIDA, para reducir la incidencia de infecciones y enfermedades oportunistas que pueden acelerar el desenlace fatal.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) represents one of the main public health problems in the world and favors the development of treatment-resistant dermatological conditions such as opportunistic infections and malignant tumors. Objective: to present a case of Kaposi's sarcoma in a young patient diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Case presentation: 32-year-old, white, male patient diagnosed with HIV infection for 8 years, with inadequate control of his disease, who attended a dermatological consultation for presenting skin lesions that had spread rapidly, in the form of raised plaques of variable size, brownish or erythematous-violaceous, with no associated subjective symptoms. The diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma is suspected on clinical grounds and confirmed by histopathology. The patient was treated with antiretroviral therapy and chemotherapy, a few weeks later he developed complications with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and died. Conclusions: Adherence to antiretroviral therapy and adequate follow-up and control of the patient living with HIV/AIDS is essential to reduce the incidence of opportunistic infections and diseases that can accelerate the fatal outcome.
