Cutaneous manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus infection. Part II

Skin manifestations and human immunodeficiency virus infection in the Tigray region, Ethiopia: Implications for clinical management and epidemiologic surveillance

“…Regarding the assessment of skin manifestations, our study showed that dermatophytosis was the most frequently diagnosed dermatosis in HIV‐infected patients. This agrees with the previous observation of an increased risk of fungal infections in HIV individuals 39–42 . Nevertheless, superficial fungal infections among HIV/AIDS individuals have rarely been studied, particularly in resource‐limited settings, possibly because of their limited impact on life expectancy 43,44 .…”

“…This agrees with the previous observation of an increased risk of fungal infections in HIV individuals. [39][40][41][42] Nevertheless, superficial fungal infections among HIV/AIDS individuals have rarely been studied, particularly in resource-limited settings, possibly because of their limited impact on life expectancy. 43,44 Notably, dermatophytosis was significantly more common in females than males.…”

Dermatological Manifestations In Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infected Patients: Histopathology And CD4 Cell Count Correlation

“…[13] In our study we found 08 (13.3%) cases of bacterial infection including Mycobacterium infections as compared to 14 (12.72%) cases of bacterial infection in the study by Sanjay M Chawhan et al [5] Dermatological lesions of tuberculosis (TB) infection are rarely found in Western countries. [14] Various mycobacterium lesions in our study were leprosy (three cases of borderline tuberculoid and one case of tuberculoid leprosy), papulonecrotic tuberculid, scrofuloderma and TB cutis orificialis one each. In this study, six cases of fungal lesions were found which includes cases of dermatophytoses and candidiasis, histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis.…”

Dermatologic manifestations among human immunodeficiency virus patients in Morocco and association with immune status

“…Other studies have reported lower mean CD4 cell counts in subjects with dermatophytic infection . Severity and high variability in clinical presentation of dermatophytic infection are more common in HIV/AIDS …”
