Overview
Secondary prevention of Kaposi's sarcoma involves anti-retroviral therapy which can improve the CD4 T cell count.
Secondary Prevention
Secondary prevention of Kaposi's sarcoma involves anti-retroviral therapy which can improve the CD4 T cell count. Lower CD4 T cell counts (below 150 cells per microliter) are associated with worse prognosis and will result in worsening complications. Highly-active anti-retroviral therapy is important for prevention of worsening disease in patients who have Kaposi's sarcoma.[1]
