- Abstract
Introduction: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) incidence has decreased since the initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), but it remains the most common cancer in people with HIV/AIDS (PWHA). PWHA with advanced immunosuppression who initiate antiretroviral therapy are susceptible to the occurrence of an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). Case Presentation: This report covers the case of a 25-year-old male with AIDS-related KS who relapsed after Liposomal Doxorubicin, but recovered well after administration of nab-paclitaxel (Nab-PTX). Conclusion: This is a rare case in choosing Nab-PTX to treat relapsed AIDS-KS and get good feedback. We report the case to provide a possible solution to treat AIDS-KS.
