Abstract
We report 3 cases of pruriginous papular eruption of HIV disease, in w hich demodectic mites were found in the pilosebaceous follicles which were surrounded by a granulomatous inflammatory infiltrate. Papular er uption of HIV disease is a distinctive clinicopathological entity, who se pathogenicity is not known. Our observations suggest that demodecti c mites might be sometimes the etiologic agents of this eruption.
