Abstract
Mucocutaneous lesions are often a prominent manifestation of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Patients with this syndrome are susceptible to a number of opportunistic skin infections as well as an aggressive form of Kaposi's sarcoma. The diagnosis, the clinical setting, and the treatment of these diseases are discussed.
