ABSTRACT
Idiopathic CD4+ T lymphocytopenia (ICL) is a new disease entity characterized by depletion of helper T cells apparently without any evidence of HIV infection. We report a case of ICL associated with Kaposis sarcoma (KS) and pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in a 34-year old woman. She developed violaceous, protruding masses on scalp, back, both extremities, palms, soles, left. first toe and peritonsillar region for 2 months. These lesions were confirmed as KS by histopathologic findings. Chest X-ray and HRCT findings represented PCP and KS. Absolute deficiency of CD4+ T cell was detected in the count of T cell subsets. Serologic tests for HIV-1, 2 and HTLV I, -II were negative. And she was absent any defined immunodeficiency or therapy associated with decreased levels of CD4+ T cells. By CDC criteria, a diagnosis of ICL was made. Because of aggravation of PCP and lung involuement of KS, she died at 22nd day after admission.
