“…However, they can be classified based on the following points. Although folliculitis and eosinophilic folliculitis are difficult to differentiate clinically, it is possible to distinguish between eosinophil deposits on hystopathology and rise in Ig E or eosinophil count in blood 10 12 13 14 15 16 . The difference is that acne is accompanied by seborrhea or comedone.…”

“…Pruritic papular eruption or prurigo simplex differs from folliculitis occurring on the face, neck, chest, and back. It occurs mainly on the extensor surface of arms and legs 10,[12][13][14][15][16] . In practice, it is difficult to decide whether to keep or change the drug when the patient has folliculitis or when a new rash occurs and increases after taking the drug.…”

Background In Korea, new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients continue to be diagnosed. Due to the development of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) and lengthening of survival period of infected person, the aspect of skin diseases of HIV-infected patients is also changing. Objective To determine skin diseases of HIV-infected patients according to immune status and the relationship between folliculitis and HAART drug. Methods Subjects were HIV-infected patients who were treated in the department of dermatology from September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2018. Medical records of 376 subjects were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of 376 patients were studied, tinea infection, folliculitis, and seborrheic dermatitis were the most common regardless of their CD4 T cell counts or treatment group (initial treatment or retreatment). Seborrheic dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, and pruritic papular eruption were significantly more common in patients with CD4+T cells less than 200×10 6 cells/L while warts were significantly more frequent in patients with CD4+T cells greater than 200×10 6 cells/L. Most HAART agents were found to be helpful in reducing the incidence of folliculitis. Conclusion There were many skin diseases in HIV patients, different from previous studies. In our study, the top three diagnoses were tinea infection, folliculitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. HAART medication was helpful in reducing folliculitis. These changes will require different treatments for skin diseases in HIV patients.

“…Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is an endothelial proliferating vascular disease with different modes of manifestation and human papillomavirus-8 (HHV-8) is considered to be the necessary cause of all variants of KS2. KS can involve the skin and other internal organs and four clinical subsets are currently recognized: classic, endemic, iatrogenic, and AIDS-related345. Development of KS in psoriasis patients has rarely been reported in spite of the fact that the current treatments of psoriasis are aimed at inhibiting the immune system1.…”

Kaposi's sarcoma is a multifocal proliferative vascular tumor involving the skin and other organ and psoriasis is a chronic cutaneous disease with papules and plaques with white scale. Development of Kaposi's sarcoma in psoriasis patients has been reported rarely. A 71-year-old man presented with multiple brownish to violaceous plaques on both feet and arms which were found 4 months ago. The biopsy confirmed Kaposi's sarcoma. The patient was diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris 10 years ago and Kaposi's sarcoma lesions developed between psoriatic plaques. We herein report a rare case of simultaneous occurrence of Kaposi's sarcoma and psoriasis vulgaris which need quite different treatment.
