Granulomas in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome‐associated cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma: evidence for a role for <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>

The cutaneous co-lesional occurrence of AIDS-KS and microscopic TB may serve as the sentinel clue to HIV infection, systemic TB, therapeutic noncompliance or multidrug resistant TB.
