Etiology of Pruritic Papular Eruption With HIV Infection in Uganda

Mucocutaneous manifestations of HIV‐infected patients in the era of HAART in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China

“…In this study, PPE was seen in only 5.75% of HIV‐infected patients which might be because of geographic and host factors. PPE has been found to be related to late HIV infection and decreased CD4 cell counts (<100 cells/mm 3 ) 6,28 . The results in our study supported these findings.…”

Frequency and clinico-topographic distribution patterns of pruritic papular eruption in HIV patients in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital

“…This was similar to the findings by Mawenzi et al [10] in Kenya where 70% of his study population were females. A similar observation was made by Resneck et al [14] who reported that 81% of PPE patients were females. Other studies in Kenya 10 also reported that 70% of patients with PPE were female.…”

“…The mean age of the participants in this study was 40.2±10.4 years. This was comparable to a study done in Uganda where the mean age of participants was noted to be 35±8 years [18]. A study in India reported that the mean age of the PPE patients was 34.2±7.5 years [19].…”

Etiology and risk factors associated with a pruritic papular eruption in people living with HIV in India

“…Given this history, patients with HIV may present earlier after initial infection with HIV and prior to the development of severe HIV/AIDS. While CD4 counts in our case population were higher than previously reported [5–7], the majority were still less than CD4 counts of 350 cells/µL. European and US guidelines have recommended that ARV therapy be initiated in HIV-positive patients with CD4 counts less than 350 cells/µL [24].…”
