What's new in HIV dermatology?

Sarah J Coates et al. F1000Res. .

Abstract

HIV has long been associated with a number of inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic skin conditions. In the era of anti-retroviral therapy, we have discovered even more about the relationship between skin disease and chronic immunosuppression. In particular, clinicians still face the propensity of persons living with HIV to develop difficult-to-control viral infections, chronic skin inflammation, and pruritus and-particularly as patients age-various types of skin cancers. Here, we summarize recent updates in the field of HIV dermatology and make recommendations to providers caring for these patients.

Keywords: HIV; Kaposi sarcoma; Merkel cell carcinoma; atopic dermatitis; dermatology; herpes simplex virus; human papilloma virus; nonmelanoma skin cancer; prurigo nodularis; pruritus; psoriasis; syphilis; varicella zoster virus.
