AI Article Synopsis
- A thorough examination of skin, mucous membranes, and nails is essential for identifying various systemic diseases, including those related to HIV.
- Certain lesions can indicate a weakened immune system, often serving as early signs of HIV infection.
- The report discusses two cases where symptoms in the nails and mucous membranes led to the discovery of underlying immunosuppression due to HIV.
Article Abstract
Cutaneous, mucosal, and nail examination is the key to unveiling a plethora of systemic diseases. Mucocutaneous lesions directly related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection usually present as initial manifestations of immune deficiency, of which few lesions act as predictors of an immunocompromised state. Here, we report two cases who presented with onycho-mucocutaneous symptoms which raised the suspicion of and invariably led to the diagnosis of an underlying immunosuppression secondary to HIV infection.
