“…With hindsight however, most of her disease course could be explained by HIV infection. Autoimmune and rheumatic manifestations are commonly found in HIV infection, which may mimic SLE clinically 1 . The HIV infection of our patient was repeatedly suspected during the course of her treatment for SLE, and she declined testing at least three times.…”

“…HAART was changed to drugs with better central nervous system penetration (abacavir, didanasine, ritonavir ⁄ saqunavir and efavirenz). With this her viral load was undetectable and the CD4 cell count was 140 cells ⁄ mm 3 1 Reports exist of HIV-positive patients with symptoms suggestive of SLE and low levels of ANA as well as of one patient with features of subacute cutaneous LE (ANA, 1 : 1280). [2][3][4] One study found low-level ANA titres in 7% of HIV-positive patients, but this was not confirmed by two other studies.…”

Systemic lupus erythematosus or infection with HIV, or both?

The features of both HIV infection and connective tissue disease are often nonspecific and may mimic other disorders as well as each other. We treated a patient with presumed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for 4 years, who finally admitted to longstanding infection with HIV. The coexistence of SLE and HIV is unusual and has, although reported in the rheumatological journals, not often been discussed in the dermatological literature.

Corticoid Therapy for Overlapping Syndromes in an HIV-positive Patient

et al. 2015

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection disturbs the host's immune function and often coexists with various autoimmune and/or systemic rheumatic diseases with manifestations that sometimes overlap with each other. We herein present the case of a 43-year-old Japanese man infected with HIV who exhibited elevated serum creatine kinase and transaminases levels without any symptoms. He was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis, polymyositis and Sjögren's syndrome and received combined antiretroviral therapy (cART); however, the laboratory abnormalities persisted. We successfully administered cART with the addition of oral prednisolone, and the patient's condition recovered without side effects related to the metabolic or immunosuppressive effects of these drugs.

“…833 Complications of HAART, using protease inhibitors, include a lipodystrophy (see p. 471) and paronychia. 845,846 The incidence and severity of skin disease is a good indicator of the underlying immune status of the patient. [842][843][844] Seborrhoeic dermatitis, photosensitivity, and xerosis are three of the more persistent cutaneous manifestations.…”
