Background: The major problem of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (E PF) is its generally unknown aetiology. Objective and methods: The pur pose of this case report is to advise a thorough medical investigation of all patients with EPF.

Conclusion: Before regarding EPF as an idiopathic disease of unknown aetiology a t horough immunologic and haematologic investigation has to be advocated .
