Resumen
El Sarcoma de Kaposi es un tumor vascular, que puede desarrollarse en las personas gracias a inmunodeficiencia y la presencia de ciertos factores asociados como es el virus herpes humano tipo 8. Entre las presentaciones clínicas el más frecuente es el tipo Epidémico el cual está estrechamente relacionado al SIDA.
Uno de los principales problemas que se observan actualmente es la difícil diferenciación en los pacientes infectados por VIH de lesiones dermatológica.
Las lesiones del Sarcoma de Kaposi por lo general son elípticas, no son dolorosas ni pruriginosas, pero pueden confundirse con hemangiomas o angiomas.
Nuestro objetivo será determinar las características principales de los pacientes con VIH que presenten Sarcoma de Kaposi
MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS
Realizamos un estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo, durante el periodo 2014-2015. Los datos fueron obtenidos mediante la revisión de historias clínicas del Hospital de Infectologia de Guayaquil. Dr Jose Maridueña
RESULTADOS
La afectación de os pacientes con VIH que presentaron Sarcoma de Kaposi fue similar tanto para el sexo femenino como el masculino, el promedio de la edad de los pacientes fue de 35 años, presentando niveles de CD4 inferiores a 200 cell/microL, las lesiones afectaron principalmente sitios cutáneos de los pacientes.

Among the most frequent clinical presentations is the epidemic type which is closely related AIDS. One of the main problems currently observed is the difficult differentiation in HIV-infected patients with dermatologic lesions. The lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma are usually elliptical, are not painful or itchy, but can be confused with hemangiomas or angiomas. Our goal is to determine the main characteristics of HIV patients with Kaposi's sarcoma presenting MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted an observational, descriptive, retrospective study, during the period 2014-2015. Data were obtained by reviewing medical records of the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Guayaquil. Dr Jose Maridueña RESULTS HIV patients who had Kaposi sarcoma was similar for both female and male, the average age of patients was 35 years, with CD4 counts below 200 cell / microL, injuries affected mainly cutaneous sites of the patients. CONCLUSIONS Kaposi's Sarcoma is associated with the presence of herpes virus 8, the general characteristics of the presentation of the disease is assimilated to the characteristics observed in studies of different countries with high prevalence of HIV infection Keywords: Kaposi sarcoma, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, Human herpes virus-8
