[Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji) (author's transl)]

Abstract

A case, the first French observation of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji) is reported. The long lasting condition of unknown etiology is characterized by slightly indurated erythematous plaques and formation of follicular small papules and pustules. The lesions have a tendency to central healing and peripheral extension and proceed with remissions and exacerbations. Histological features are pustular folliculitis composed chiefly of eosinophiles. Blood eosinophila is often founded. Local corticotherapy and dapsone are sometimes a effective treatment.
