  • Title: HIV-Associated eosinophilic folliculitis and follicular mucinosis.
    Author: Buezo GF, Fraga J, Abajo P, Ríos L, Daudén E, García-Díez A.
    Journal: Dermatology; 1998; 197(2):178-80. PubMed ID: 9732171.
    Abstract:
    The term HIV-associated eosinophilic folliculitis (EF) designates an idiopathic dermatitis that appears in HIV-infected patients with different clinical manifestations but with a distinctive histological feature characterized by a predominantly eosinophilic infiltrate in the follicular infundibula. On the other side, follicular mucinosis (FM) is a reaction pattern in the follicular epithelium, characterized by a mucinous degeneration of the outer sheath of follicles and sebaceous glands. It has been described in association with a variety of unrelated conditions. We report 2 HIV-infected patients with a pruritic papular eruption. Histopathological study revealed the coexistence of EF and FM. To our knowledge, this is the first report that describes this association. The possible relationship between these two entities is discussed.
