Recurrent Neutrophilic Eccrine Hidradenitis in an HIV-1-Infected Patient

Abstract

Most cases of neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis (NEH) have been reported in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia or other malignant diseases. We report the case of an HIV-1-infected patient who presented several and strikingly similar episodes of NEH without any medication as well as another one after the first course of chemotherapy for a B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This case strengthens the hypothesis that NEH may occur in different situations, as reported for other neutrophilic dermatoses.

“…Other associations were later recognized, in addition to chemotherapeutic drugs, including infectious diseases (HIV and Serratia marcescens ), drugs (granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor and acetaminophen), and haemodialysis; NEH has also been reported in a healthy patient 5,8–14 . Our patient did not have an underlying malignancy, she was not exposed to chemotherapeutic drugs, and her HIV serology was negative.…”

“…It has been previously reported in one case of Hodgkin's lymphoma and one pediatric case of a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [4,5]. Demographics and clinical characteristics of these cases are summarized in Table 1 [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. NEH has also been described in adult patients with other malignancies and solid tumors, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, osteogenic sarcoma, testicular carcinoma, metastatic breast cancer, Bechet disease, HIV and Wilms tumor [2,4,5].…”
