Cutaneous Pneumocystis carinii infection in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Electron-Beam Therapy for AIDS-related Molluscum Contagiosum Lesions: Preliminary Experience

“…Numerous reports (18)(19)(20)(21)(22) of similar cases have been published since this early observation. Hennessey and Cockerell (23) described two patients infected with HIV with scattered translucent cutaneous papules that resembled molluscum contagiosum lesions but that were found to be due to extrapulmonary Pneumocystis carinii.…”

Botryomycosis caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Pneumocystis carinii in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency disease

“…Extrapulmonary P. carinii frequently involves the haematopoietic system (lymph nodes, spleen, liver and bone marrow) and is usually seen in patients with advanced immunosuppression, including those with AIDS. Cutaneous involvement is rare, with only five cases reported in the literature 1–3 . All documented cases had active concurrent pulmonary infection or had received P. carinii pneumonia prophylaxis.…”

Skin Diseases Associated with HIV Infection

“…Widespread violaceous papules and nodules mimicking Kaposi's sarcoma have been described [63]. Blue maculae and molluscum-like papules have also been observed [64,65]. Microemboli containing P. carinii have been reported in a patient with disseminated pneumocystosis and acral gangrene.…”
