AB A number of light-induced pathologic changes in the skin of individuals
with HIV infection have been reported in the dermatologic literature.
The relationship between HIV and one of these more well-defined types of
photosensitivity, PCT, while still uncertain seems definable and related
to an infectious origin. The relationship of retrovirus infection and
photosensitivities that are of idiopathic origin in HIV-infected
individuals, as well as non-infected individuals, is much more
conjectural. The association seems, however, to be more frequent than
co-incidental, and the link probably resides in the realm of altered
immune modulation. Since individuals with HIV frequently require
phototherapy, such light-induced problems are likely to become more
common. It is important that the dermatologist recognize these
relationships.
