    Summary

    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can cause various skin conditions, presenting as scaly papules or plaques. These dermatoses may appear before other symptoms, with variations based on immune status.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can manifest with various dermatoses.
    • Scaly papules and plaques are common primary lesions in HIV-associated skin conditions.
    • These dermatoses can be early indicators of HIV infection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the spectrum of dermatoses presenting with scaly papules or plaques in HIV-infected individuals.
    • To highlight the potential of these skin conditions as presenting manifestations of HIV.
    • To discuss the influence of immune dysfunction on the clinical and histopathologic features of these dermatoses.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical and histopathologic findings in HIV-infected patients with scaly papules/plaques.
    • Analysis of dermatological presentations in relation to the degree of immune suppression.
    • Correlation of clinical appearance with histopathologic characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • HIV infection is associated with a range of dermatoses characterized by scaly papules and plaques.
    • These skin conditions can be the initial clinical sign of HIV.
    • The presentation of these dermatoses varies significantly with the level of immune dysfunction.

    Conclusions:

    • Dermatoses with scaly papules or plaques are important clinical signs in HIV infection.
    • Recognition of these skin manifestations can aid in early diagnosis of HIV.
    • Immune status critically influences the typicality of dermatologic and histopathologic findings in HIV.
