Kaposi's sarcoma in Sudanese renal transplant recipients: a report from a single center

Abdalla I Sabeel et al. J Nephrol. 2003 May-Jun.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in Sudanese renal transplant recipients is not known.

Methods: We retrospectively assessed the prevalence of KS in 30 Sudanese renal transplant recipients followed for 16 years.

Results: Four patients (13.3%) developed KS within 4-36 months after transplantation. All patients were HIV negative.

Conclusions: The incidence of KS in Sudanese renal transplant recipients is very high, supporting the theory of racial or geographic factors in its genesis.
