“…In can occur at any CD4 count and is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. At CD4 counts below 300/mm 3 , patients can develop eosinophilic folliculitis, a clinical entity unique to HIV-infected individuals 36 that is characterized by discrete, pruritic, erythematous, follicular papules on the trunk or face and is associated with eosinophilia and increased serum IgE levels. 37 …”

OBJECTIVE: To summarize current information on the relation between CD4 counts and the risk of different HIV-related diseases. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: MEDLINE search ofEnglish language articles between 1985 and 1996 using the medical subject heading (MeSH) term "CD4 lymphocyte count" and searches using key words of multiple HIV-related diseases were conducted. Some HIV-related diseases can be stratified to different CD4 count levels. Regardless of their CD4 count, HIV-infected patients are susceptible to sinusitis, Kaposi's sarcoma, community-acquired pneumonia, and oral hairy leukoplakia. In advanced HIV, when CD4 is below 200/ mm 3 , Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, Mycobacterium avium complex, molluscum contagiosum, and bacillary angiomatosis all increase in incidence. In very advanced HIV disease, when CD4 counts are below 50/mm 3 , patients are at risk of pseudomonas pneumonia, cytomegalovirus retinitis, central nervous system lymphoma, aspergillosis, and disseminated histoplasmosis.KEY WORDS: CD4 count; HIV-related disease; risk stratification. J GEN INTERN MED 1998;13:131-136.

“…Rosenthal et al found its association in patients with CD4 counts between 200 and 500 cells/cumm. [17] It could be an important clinical marker of HIV infection, particularly in patients at increased risk of developing opportunistic infection. The clinical and histological differential diagnoses of eosinophilic folliculitis include demodicidosis and PPE.…”

Background: More than 90% of the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients develop skin lesions at some point throughout the course of the disease. Although these conditions may be seen in general healthy population, their occurrence in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is often atypical, more severe and explosive. Histopathology study of skin biopsies from these lesions is very useful for the final diagnosis of these lesions.Methods: Total 60cases were studied. Punch biopsies from the skin lesions were studied with routine histopathology examination and special stains were used as and when required. The results were divided into infectious and non-infectious categories. Results were correlated with the CD4 counts of the patients.Results: Out of that22 (36.66%) patients had infectious lesions and 38 (63.33%) patients had non-infectious lesions. The spectrum of various non-infectious and infectious lesions such as viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoa, dermatitis, popular lesions and their association with CD4 counts is discussed. Conclusion:In present study mean CD4 cell count was found to be low (<350) in individuals with infectious skin lesions, where as noninfectious lesions were associated with higher (>350) CD4 cell counts.
