Abstract
We describe a patient with acute HIV exanthem with papulovesicular les ions and epidermal necrosis. We also review the literature regarding t he histopathologic findings of acute HIV exanthem, which apears to be most commonly characterized by a perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate w ithout epidermal change, but which may be associated with spongiosis, vacuolar alteration, or epidermal necrosis.
