  • Title: Blue nails and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome: not always associated with azidothymidine use.
    Author: Glaser DA, Remlinger K.
    Journal: Cutis; 1996 Apr; 57(4):243-4. PubMed ID: 8727775.
    Abstract:
    Nail dyschromia in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was first described in 1987 by Furth and Kazakis. It has since been reported in many patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), predominantly in those taking azidothymidine. There have been only three reports of nail pigmentation in HIV-infected patients who had not received azidothymidine. We describe such a case.
