  • Title: Nodular Erythema Elevatum Diutinum Mimicking Kaposi's Sarcoma in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infected Patient.
    Author: Rao GR, Joshi R, Phaneendra Prasad AK, Amareswar A, Sandhya S, Sridevi M.
    Journal: Indian J Dermatol; 2014 Nov; 59(6):592-4. PubMed ID: 25484391.
    Abstract:
    Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) has been emerging as a specific Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) associated dermatosis in recent times. It is an extremely rare chronic disease of unknown origin and part of the spectrum of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. We describe a case of EED simulating Kaposi's sarcoma in a 52-year-old HIV infected female patient with no previous opportunistic infections and CD4+ count of 164/mm(3). Therapy with oral dapsone (100 mg/day) for two weeks resulted in resolution of some lesions.
