Studies have been published in the area of Kaposi's sarcoma but much is not known in the area of interaction between HIV and Kaposi sarcoma, etiology, clinical manifestation, staging, immunological mechanism involved, risk factors, diagnostic features and methods, complications involved and treatment. The recent results of Kaposi's sarcoma have been reported in people living with HIV indifferent parts of the world. Cases are unrecognized due inaccurate diagnosis and hence are treated as other diseases. However the most recent studies have shown that Kaposi's sarcoma and HIV coexist together. In Conclusion, Kaposi's sarcoma in HIV is as a result of complex interactions between the host pathogen and the immune mechanisms involved in the protection. Overall, this review has expanded our understanding of the mechanism involved in the pathogenesis and the relationship between tuberculosis and kidney disease. This review will help to improve clinical practices.
