AB In recent years, especially with the advent of acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome, new skin disorders associated with systemic disease have been
described in the literature. Eosinophilic folliculitis and pruritic
papules of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are clinically
similar lesions that respond to phototherapy. Bacillary angiomatosis,
another HIV-related skin disease that is caused by a pleomorphic
gram-negative organism, resembles Kaposi's sarcoma clinically but is
curable if treated early with antibiotics. Toxic strep syndrome, a
scarlatiniform, desquamative eruption associated with hypotension, fever
and multiorgan system dysfunction, is caused by group A streptococcal
soft tissue infection. Paraneoplastic pemphigus, a recently
characterized autoimmune vesicular eruption, produces painful
mucocutaneous ulcerations in patients with an occult neoplasm, such as
chronic lymphocytic leukemia or malignant lymphoma.
