Tuberculosis (TB) preventive therapy (TPT) reduces the incidence of TB among people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). However, despite an increase in TPT uptake, TB/HIV coinfection remains stagnant in Uganda especially in areas of increasing HIV incidence such as the Bunyoro sub-region. This study was a retrospective review records (antiretroviral therapy [ART] files) of PLHIV who were active on ART and completed TPT in 2019/2020 at three major hospitals in the Bunyoro sub-region, Uganda: Masindi General Hospital, Hoima Regional Referral Hospital, and Kiryandongo General Hospital.

Many theories have been proposed to explain its etiopathogenesis among which cell-mediated immunity is one of the crucial links. Estimation of vitiligo activity and extent in a patient is important in tailoring an optimal treatment regimen.

Article Synopsis
- - Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is usually a harmless skin growth in adults, but its rare occurrence in infants presents diagnostic challenges for doctors, particularly when it resembles another condition called epidermal nevus (EN).
- - The case discusses a child with a unique variant of SK showing a specific pattern (nevo-blaschkoid) that makes it hard to classify, but certain microscopic features can help distinguish it from EN.
- - A shave biopsy was performed on the child's skin lesion, confirming it as SK and allowing for effective removal, addressing both diagnosis and treatment in one procedure.
