Abstract

The introduction of combined Anti-Retroviral Therapy has modified the natural history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, leading to an increase in life expectancy of the patients living with HIV. Immune deficiency can lead to opportunistic infections and an increased risk of autoimmune disease and malignancy. Here we describe the case of a patient affected by psoriasis, HIV infection and Kaposi’s Sarcoma.
