HIV-associated eosinophilic folliculitis (Q102176)

Eosinophilic folliculitis is a non-infective folliculotropic inflammatory condition of unknown aetiology. It is characterised by recurrent crops of sterile follicular pustules and papules affecting particularly the head and neck and which are often intensely pruritic. It is particularly associated with HIV infection and immunosuppression. It may persist for years with multiple cycles of exacerbations and remissions.
