Abstract
A variety of nail and hair changes have been described in AIDS patient s, but rapid nail growth has not previously been reported. A slowing o f nail growth would be expected in these patients due to immunosuppres sion and possible malnutrition. We report a case of increased nail and hair growth in a man with AIDS.
