Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in association with autoimmune bullous disease is a very rare entity, and the pathophysiology remains uncertain. We present a case of a 65-year-old African-American female with HIV who developed a single skin lesion on her face. Subsequently, she developed multiple blistering skin lesions throughout her body. Skin biopsy of the blistering lesions revealed bullous pemphigoid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
