The epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common AIDS associated cancer. The lesions are located in any part of the organism. The skin affection is the most frequent. The risk group with a highest incidence is the "male homosexuals". Though the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma doesn't determine "per se" the prognosis "quad vitam", there exist some analytic parameters at the time of the diagnosis that are useful for the prognosis of the HIV infection. We present 14 Kaposi's sarcoma and HIV infected cases analyzing some parameters and evaluating their prognosis and surviving hope.

We present the case of a patient with AIDS who developed abscessified pneumonia by Rhodococcus equi. We publish this case given the rare frequency of presentation of this opportunistic infection in this type of patient and given its good clinical evolution, on the contrary of other cases described so far in the literature. The good evolution of the patient may be due to an early diagnosis, less than one month, and the combined medical therapy with rifampicine and tetracyclines.
