The article describes the data of the study of concomitant skin pathology and clinical and laboratory features of HIV infection in children. 108 children aged 4 months to 18 years were examined. The structure of dermatological pathology in children with HIV infection was dominated by viral diseases, which were registered in 38% of cases represented by herpes zoster and in 8 (11.2%) - herpes simplex virus, molluscum contagiosum and viral warts in 2 (2.8% ) and in 1 (1.4%) children, respectively. Also, the examined patients had fungal diseases, which manifested themselves in the form of candidiasis of the skin and mucous membranes, which accounted for 25.3% of cases.
Evaluation of lymphocytes and immunity (CD4) indicators showed a correlation of immune reactivity with comorbid dermatological manifestations.
