ABSTRACT
La infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) ha aumentado la incidencia de pacientes con sarcoma dc Kaposi, de forma que la presencia del Kaposi junto con la demostración de la infección se considera criterio de SIDA. Previamente a la aparición del SIDA existía el sarcoma de Kaposi, afectando otras localizaciones diferentes y en un grupo poblacional diferente. Se presentan dos casos de pacientes no VIII con lesiones cutáneas de Sarcoma de Kaposi en su Variante clásica, con lesiones que afectan a los pies (AU)
Human immunodcficiencyvirus (HIV) infection has increased the incidence of patients with Kaposis sarcoma so patients with this disease associated to infection is considered AIDS. Previous to the discovery of this syndrome, Kaposis appears in patients on different locations and different population group. We present two cases of Kaposis syndrome in not HIV patients with lesions located in both feet (AU)

Analyzing the phenotypic characterization of the immune system cells involved in the pathogenesis of immunodeficiency with thymoma (Good's syndrome) is difficult due to the low number of studies on that subject. We describe the immunological alterations observed in a case of Good's syndrome, and we summarize the pathogenic explanations found in the literature.
