RESUMO

Background@#Data on prevalence and type of mucocutaneous diseases in HIV-positive patients and their impact on quality of life (QoL) are sparse. We aim to determine prevalence and type of mucocutaneous disorders, their correlation to CD4+ counts and impact on QoL for adults with HIV, using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).@*Methods@#A cross-sectional study of HIV-infected adults seen in HIV and Dermatology Clinic.@*Results@#The majority (90%) of 174 participants recruited was male. Median age at diagnosis of HIV infection was 29 years (IQR 10). Mucocutaneous disorders were present in 90.2%, out of which 58.6% had two or more mucocutaneous disorders. Mean CD4+ count was significantly lower in patients with, compared to those without mucocutaneous disorders (363 vs 548 cells/µL; p=0.030). Infections accounted for 67.2% of all mucocutaneous disorders seen, followed by inflammatory dermatoses (51.7%), cutaneous adverse drug reactions (17.8%) and neoplasm (2.3%). The five most frequent manifestations were eczema (22.4%), anogenital warts (21.2%), candidiasis (16.7%), dermatophytosis (15.5%) and secondary syphilis (12.0%). Oral candidiasis, pruritic papular eruption, drug-induced maculopapular eruption and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms were significantly more prevalent in patients with CD4+ counts <200 cells/µL but anogenital warts were more prevalent in patients with CD4+ counts ≥200 cells/µL. The mean DLQI score was 8.39 (SD ± 6.83). QoL was severely impaired (DLQI >10) in 34.4%.@*Conclusion@#Mucocutaneous disorders were common in HIV patients causing significant impairment in quality of life. Prevalence co-related with low CD4+ counts. Adequate management of HIV may reduce the prevalence of mucocutaneous disorders and improve QoL.
