  9.  AB    HIV-positive patients and those persons immunosuppressed as a result of
  10.        other diseases or chemotherapy are especially susceptible to mycotic
  11.        infections. The superficial fungal infections seen most often in
  12.        patients with HIV infection include seborrheic dermatitis, various
  13.        dermatophyte infections, candidiasis, and onychomycosis. Uncommonly,
  14.        systemic fungal infections, such as candidiasis, histoplasmosis,
  15.        cryptococcosis, and coccidioidomycosis, may disseminate to the skin,
  16.        producing a wide variety of cutaneous lesions. All cutaneous lesions in
  17.        these patients should be biopsied and cultured if any question exists
  18.        regarding the diagnosis. The diagnosis of superficial and deep mycotic
  19.        infections in HIV-positive patients can be particularly difficult
  20.        because the clinical presentation varies greatly and is often atypical.
