“…95 Cyclosporine has also been successful in treating skin manifestations, as demonstrated in a patient whose skin symptoms recurred while on etretinate, but improved with cyclosporine. 107 Reactive arthritis in patients with HIV/AIDS is more recalcitrant to therapy and requires careful management.

A 31-year-old male presented with limpet-like, cone-shaped skin lesions on the scalp, the extremities, and the trunk of 4 months' duration, and had had severe joint pain in his right fingers, wrist, and knee for 1 month. Radiological examination revealed arthritis of the above mentioned multiple joints. Rheumatoid factor was serologically negative. Histopathological findings showed dense inflammatory cell infiltration and remarkable Munro's microabscesses in the horny layer in addition to psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia, and predominant dermal oedema. Based on clinicopathological findings, a diagnosis of rupioid psoriasis with arthropathy was made. Following treatment for arthralgia using low doses of systemic steroid, the effects of cyclosporin combined with topical steroids was seen to alleviate dramatically the skin lesions and arthritis within 2 weeks. There was no recurrence of such skin and joint lesions during a follow-up period of 1 year.
