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