Article Synopsis
- * A case study is presented of a 23-year-old HIV-positive patient who displayed unusual symptoms like cervical lymphadenopathy and respiratory issues, leading to a diagnosis of KS after histology confirmed it.
- * The patient, who was undergoing antiretroviral therapy, unfortunately passed away before starting chemotherapy, highlighting the aggressive nature of KS without typical symptoms and the need for heightened awareness in similar HIV cases.
Fixed drug eruptions (FDE) are typically associated with residual hyperpigmentation or non-pigmenting lesions. There is no distinctive histopathological feature; though, drug provocation tests (DPT) can be confirmatory within 7 days. We describe a patient with penile FDE associated with residual hypopigmentation, a prolonged refractory period to DPT and recurrent meatal stenosis.
