OBJECTIVES: To evaluate clinical differences between IVDU and homosexual patients with Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) associated with AIDS. METHODS AND PATIENTS: We review the hospital records of 170 patients with KS associated with AIDS diagnosed in Madrid from 1984 to April 1992. 32 patients (18.8%) were IVDU male and 138 patients (81.1%) were homosexuals. RESULTS: Results are shown on the table: TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of KS associated with AIDS is higher among homosexuals. Approximately, the third part of IVDU patients do not present skin involvement at diagnosis of KS.
