Abstract:
A 35-year-old man presented with a 2-day history of a maculopapular pruritic eruption that had affected his general state of health and was accompanied by chills. The patient had been diagnosed with HIV in 2008, and was undergoing treatment with a combination of emcitrabine/tenofovir plus nevirapine. He had a current viral load of 1,558,160 copies/mL and a lymphocyte count CD4+ count of 230/mm3. Physical examination revealed an eruption involving the face, nape of the neck, chest, abdomen, extremities, palms, and soles. This was characterized by erythematous papules approximately 2 mm in diameter coalescing on the palms and soles, where they formed plaques (Figures 1 and 2).
