Children who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus may develop a wide variety of mucocutaneous manifestations, such as skin infections, tumors, and inflammatory skin disorders. The most significant infectious diseases are candidiasis, dermatophytosis, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, and pyoderma. Inflammatory disorders include seborrheic dermatitis, vasoulitis, and pyoderma gangrenosum. Kaposi sarcoma is extremely rare in children with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
