ABSTRACT
Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis(EPF) may be classified into 3 clinical types; classic(Ofuji's disease), HIV-associated, and infantile form. Compared with classical type, HIV-associated eosinophilic folliculitis(HIV-associated EF) reveals the distinctive features, such as scattered erythematous urticarial papules on the trunk, head, neck, and proximal aspect of the extremities. We herein report a case of HIV-associated EF occuring in a 48-year-old man who had severe pruritic, multiple, erythematous, follicular and non follicular papules and nodules on the scalp, face, neck, and anterior chest. Biopsy specimen revealed folliculitis with a predominant eosinophilic infiltrate. To our knowledge, this is the second case of HIV-associated EF in Korea.
