AB Four patients with HIV infection and severe immunodeficiency are
described who developed atypical varicella zoster lesions. Three of the
patients presented with chronic varicella zoster lesions. In two of them
such lesions were hyperkeratotic. All three patients had been treated
initially with subtherapeutic doses of acyclovir. In one of the patients
the lesions were clinically resistant to high dose acyclovir treatment
and disappeared only when renal insufficiency developed during
foscarnet-famcyclovir treatment. One patient developed a disseminated
varicella zoster infection.
