| Popis: | PURPOSE . Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common viral infection in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This study aimed to describe the relationship between the presentation of MC and the stage of HIV infection as measured by T-cell subsets. METHODS . A retrospective study is presented of 11 patients with MC of the eyelids and HIV infection in whom their CD4+ T lymphocytes were determined. RESULTS . Ten patients were in stage C3. The overall mean CD4+ count, CD4+ percentage and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were 71.63, 4.37%, and 0.085, respectively. Seven patients have died of AIDS-related conditions; the mean survival time was 12 months and the median 9 months from the diagnosis of MC. CONCLUSIONS . MC of the eyelids appears in advanced HIV infection when the CD4+ counts are less than 80 cells/µl. |
