The male to female ratio was 3.7:1. Thirteen out of 19 cases were children. Seven out of 13 cases in children showed clinically generalized lymphadenopathy without skin lesion. Three out of four cases in adults showed the involvement of a solitary lymph node. Ethnically and geographically the highest incidence of the disease in children occurred in the Luo, inhabitants of Nyana Province and that in adults occurred in the Luhya, inhabitants of Western Province. These findings suggest that there are some differences of oncogenicity on KS of lymph node(s) between children and adults. Recently several reports of the aggressive KS which related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus Type III (HIV/HTLV-III) infection have been reported from Zambia and Uganda. Although one out of four cases in adults showed an aggressive form of KS with generalized lymphadenopathy and disseminated multiple cutaneous nodules, there was no clear evidence that the aggressive KS is increasing in number in recent years in western Kenya., 熱帯医学 Tropical medicine 29(2). p101-106, 1987}, pages = {101--106}, title = {ケニア西部におけるリンパ節型カポシ肉腫}, volume = {29}, year = {1987} }
