 AB    In recent years, especially with the advent of acquired immunodeficiency
       syndrome, new skin disorders associated with systemic disease have been
       described in the literature. Eosinophilic folliculitis and pruritic
       papules of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are clinically
       similar lesions that respond to phototherapy. Bacillary angiomatosis,
       another HIV-related skin disease that is caused by a pleomorphic
       gram-negative organism, resembles Kaposi's sarcoma clinically but is
       curable if treated early with antibiotics. Toxic strep syndrome, a
       scarlatiniform, desquamative eruption associated with hypotension, fever
       and multiorgan system dysfunction, is caused by group A streptococcal
       soft tissue infection. Paraneoplastic pemphigus, a recently
       characterized autoimmune vesicular eruption, produces painful
       mucocutaneous ulcerations in patients with an occult neoplasm, such as
       chronic lymphocytic leukemia or malignant lymphoma.
