 AB    Eosinophilic pustulous foliculitis (EPF) is a rare dermatosis which has
       been reported in association with the human immunodeficiency virus
       infection. Six patients infected with HIV are reported with advanced
       disease in whom the diagnosis of EPF was made. All patients has a highly
       pruritic follicular papular rash. In all cases the pathology study
       revealed a mixed inflammatory infiltrate with predominance of
       eosinophils at the infundibulum of the pilous folliculi. Two patients
       had eosinophilia in peripheral blood. Therapy with antihistaminic agents
       and topical corticosteroids was ineffective in all cases. A favourable
       therapeutic response was achieved with phototherapy associated with the
       topic application of disodium cromoglycate 4%.
