ABSTRACT

Resumen La pitiriasis rubra pilaris, es una dermatosis inflamatoria papuloescamosa e hiperqueratósica de origen desconocido y de progresión crónica, la cual puede evolucionar incluso a eritrodermia. El presente caso trata de un paciente de 27 años portador del virus de inmunodeficiencia humana, diagnosticado con pitiriasis rubra pilaris tipo IV, inicialmente tratado con corticosteroide tópico y fototerapia, por cuatro meses. Sin embargo, presentó reactivación de las lesiones, por lo que se recurrió a la aplicación de lámpara excímero, utilizada en otras patologías dermatológicas, mas no de uso habitual en la pitiriasis rubra pilaris.
