Polymorphous hemangioendothelioma in a child with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Polymorphous hemangioendotheliomas (PH) are rare and borderline malignant tumors that are among the wide range of vascular tumors. We report here a 13-year-old male presenting with a history of weight loss, opportunistic infections, and lymphadenopathy. He was determined to be HIV positive and to have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). A biopsy of a femoral node was diagnostic of PH. His systemic lymphadenopathy appeared to resolve with anti-retroviral therapy. This tumor should be considered within the differential diagnoses of pediatric and immunocompromised patients.

Brief report: effectiveness of combination antiretroviral therapy on survival and opportunistic infections in a developing world setting: an observational cohort study.

BACKGROUND: The prolonged effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a developing country is not well established. METHODS: An observational database was established at the HIV clinic of the Almenara Hospital in Lima, Peru in 1996. All 564 initially antiretroviral-naive HIV-infected persons (mean CD4 count of 91 cells/mm3) who received combination ART were followed over time. RESULTS: The overall survival rate was 96% at year 2, 94% at year 4, and 91% at year 5. Among persons who initiated therapy with CD4 counts <100 cells/mm3, the overall survival rate at 3 years was 95%. Opportunistic infections while on ART occurred in 20% of persons. Patients who received 2 reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors plus a protease inhibitor had slightly better survival rates and less opportunistic disease in the first year of therapy as compared with those receiving 2 RT inhibitors and a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor or 3 RT inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the long-term effectiveness of ART in a developing country urban setting. It provides evidence of the importance of continuing global financing initiatives to provide widespread HIV therapy for countries in the developing world.

Gender differences in AIDS-associated Kaposi sarcoma in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Reasons for gender-related differences in the risk of AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma (AIDS-KS) are unknown. Four hundred thirty-eight male and 166 female AIDS-KS patients were evaluated in Harare, Zimbabwe. Female patients were younger than male patients in this study (median of 33 vs. 38 years; P < 0.001), mirroring the epidemiology of AIDS in Zimbabwe. In a multivariate model adjusted for CD4 T-cell count, age, prior radiation treatment, and chemotherapy, women were more likely to report fever, diaphoresis, or weight loss (odds ratio = 1.7, 95% confidence interval: 1.1 to 2.7; P = 0.009). These findings suggest an increased severity of KS or other unidentified infections among women with AIDS-KS in Zimbabwe.
