Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) usually occurs when CD4+ lymphocyte counts are:: (A) Above 600, (B) Between 1000-2000, (C) Below 200, (D) Above 2000
Answer is C. When CD4 count falls less than 200/L, the patient develops full-blown AIDS. This stage is characterized by the development of HIV wasting syndrome with weight loss and diarrhea for 1 month.
The patients with AIDS show a marked susceptibility to the development of malignancies. 
Human herpes virus-8–associated Kaposi’s sarcoma is the most noted malignancy associated with AIDS.
