Abstract :
The most recent studies have explained almost 2.3 million children are
affected with HIV up to the end of 2009. Sub-Saharan Africa is the main
region affected by AIDS compare to other parts of the world. Despite
providing competent healthcare services to prevent mother-to-child
transmission as a main way of infection to a newborn, an estimated
370,000 children were newly infected to HIV in 2009. Skin disorders are
common and may even be the first manifestation of HIV in children. The
most common skin illnesses are classified in four categories; infectious,
inflammatory, neoplastic, and drug related (Highly Active Antiretroviral
Therapy). In addition, unusual anatomical sites, disseminated skin
lesions, increased frequency and severity, unexplained clinical
presentation, rapid onset, and finally treatment failure may be the other
specified skin conditions in HIV/AIDS children. CD4 count and viral
load are two basic factors playing an important role in terms of type and
severity of skin illness. The aim of this review was to show the common
and crucial cutaneous findings among HIV/AIDS children via published
articles with the same subject.
