Abstract

The advent of epidemic (AIDS related) Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) in our environment engendered this study that looks at the plain chest radiographic features of KS patients seen at a tropical tertiary referral centre. Features observed ranged from clear lung fields to a variety of other chest manifestations in the hilum and lung parenchyma. However, findings observed may well manifest in other types of infections or neoplastic disorders.
