Abstract: The AIDS syndrome includes cases of biopsy-proven Kaposi's sarcoma in persons under 60 years of age, or biopsy- or culture-proven Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, or either of the life-threatening opportunistic infections in young previously healthy persons with no underlying cause of immunodeficiency (Center for Disease Control criteria). Here we described the first case of AIDS with early Kaposi's sarcoma-like lesions in homosexual male drug addict and have compared the clinical and laboratory findings with those of another homosexual male having recrudescent melioidosis due to Pseudomonas pseudomallei.
