Abstract:
We describe a patient with acute HIV exanthem with papulovesicular lesions and epidermal necrosis. We also review the literature regarding the histopathologic findings of acute HIV exanthem, which appears to be most commonly characterized by a perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate without epidermal change, but which may be associated with spongiosis, vacuolar alteration, or epidermal necrosis.
