    Author: Sabeel AI, Qunibi WY, Alfurayh OA, Al-Meshari K.
    Journal: J Nephrol; 2003; 16(3):412-6. PubMed ID: 12832743.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in Sudanese renal transplant recipients is not known. METHODS: We retrospectively assessed the prevalence of KS in 30 Sudanese renal transplant recipients followed for 16 years. RESULTS: Four patients (13.3%) developed KS within 4-36 months after transplantation. All patients were HIV negative. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of KS in Sudanese renal transplant recipients is very high, supporting the theory of racial or geographic factors in its genesis.
