 AB    INTRODUCTION: Skin lesions induced by cytomegalovirus are rare and
       usually non-characteristic. CASE REPORT: A 32-year-old women with AIDS
       developed about twenty unpainful ulceronecrotic lesions on the extension
       aspect of the members and the trunk. Histology examination and in situ
       hybridization favoured cytomegalovirus infection of the skin.
       DISCUSSION: Despite the exceptional nature of this case, this particular
       clinical presentation should be recognized as it could be useful for
       early diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection in immunodepressed
       subjects.
