    TLDR Most HIV patients in the study showed skin and mucous membrane issues, with oral thrush being the most common.
    The study, conducted over a period from September 2004 to June 2006, included 150 HIV seropositive patients, of whom 92% exhibited mucocutaneous manifestations at the time of examination. The age range of the majority of patients was 25-49 years, with a slightly higher number of males than females. Oral candidiasis was the most prevalent condition, affecting 33.33% of the patients, followed by various other infections such as HSV and dermatophytosis. Non-infectious conditions like generalized xerosis, hyperpigmentation, and seborrheic dermatitis were also common. Notably, 18% of patients experienced diffuse alopecia, and other hair and nail changes were observed, including trichomegaly and melanonychia. The study did not include CD4 count correlations due to lack of facilities and emphasized the importance of dermatological care in HIV patients for early management and improved quality of life.
