| Abstract | Infectious complications involving chronic skin ulcers have been well document but superinfection of ulcerated Kaposi's sarcoma nodules by multiresistant germs has rarely been reported. The purpose of this report is to describe a case in a 57-year-old HIV-negative black African man. Kaposi's sarcoma nodules appeared suddenly and spread rapidly on the right leg with pain and fever. Onset was associated with a laboratory-documented inflammatory syndrome and two metatarsal bone defects. Amputation of the leg was required due to the presence of multiresistant germs: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, multiresistant Staphylococus aureus and Candida albicans. Occurrence of bone lesions beneath superinfected Kaposi's sarcoma nodules poses a challenge for differential diagnosis of the underlying cause, i.e. either Kaposi's sarcoma or infectious osteitis. Since etiologic diagnosis of bone defects requires facilities that are rarely available in an African hospital, surgical treatment is the only alternative if antimicrobial therapy fails. |
