A papular eruption associated with human T cell lymphotropic virus type III disease

Pruritic papular eruption and eosinophilic folliculitis associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection: A histopathological and immunohistochemical comparative study

“…These lesions are distributed more commonly on the head, neck, upper limbs, and upper trunk. [2][3][4][5][6] The laboratory findings also included high levels of blood IgE and eosinophilia. 13,22 The present study did not demonstrate any epidemiological or clinical difference between the HIV-PPE and HIV-EF groups except for the bodily distribution of cutaneous lesions, although the sites of the lesions were the clinical criteria for diagnosis.…”

“…HIV-PPE manifests as papules with variable clinical characteristics and localization, pruritic symptoms, and chronic evolution. [2][3][4][5][6] Eosinophilic folliculitis (HIV-EF) manifests histological similarities to Ofuji disease, which has been described in immunocompetent patients. 7 Previous publications have demonstrated the difficulty in distinguishing the precise differential diagnosis parameters of HIV-PPE and HIV-EF.…”

A case report of pityriasis lichenoides in a patient with chronic hepatitis C

“…3-8 Papular eruptions resembling pityriasis lichenoides have been observed in HIV patients. 9 Some authors have suggested that the occurrence of pityriasis lichenoides in HIV patients during early to midstage AIDS could be a marker of the chronic state of immune activation. 10 We describe an unusual association of pityriasis lichenoides with chronic hepatitis C in a patient in whom all other hypothetical aetiological agents were excluded.…”

Viral diseases

“…It is found in up to one-third of patients, and is an adverse prognostic factor. [807][808][809][810][811][812][813][814][815][816][817][818] Malignant melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma are examples of cutaneous malignancies that have a more aggressive course in patients with HIV infection. 804 The role of human herpesvirus-8 in its etiology is discussed elsewhere (see p. 619).…”
