 AB    OBJECTIVES: To evaluate clinical differences between IVDU and homosexual
       patients with Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) associated with AIDS. METHODS AND
       PATIENTS: We review the hospital records of 170 patients with KS
       associated with AIDS diagnosed in Madrid from 1984 to April 1992. 32
       patients (18.8%) were IVDU male and 138 patients (81.1%) were
       homosexuals. RESULTS: Results are shown on the table: TABULAR DATA, SEE
       ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of KS associated with AIDS is
       higher among homosexuals. Approximately, the third part of IVDU patients
       do not present skin involvement at diagnosis of KS.
