A paper in the Annals of Internal Medicine includes two recent cases and a literature review of confirmed KS in people with well-controlled HIV on ART.
Both cases had multiple cutaneous discolored plaques and ulceration with normal CD4 counts and undetectable viral load for both HIV and human herpesvirus-8 at the time of diagnosis.
It recommended with screening new skin lesions for KS regardless of the CD4 count or adherence to ART.
