“…Table 4 lists the rates of skin reactions to antibacterials commonly used in HIV-infected patients, as observed in a retrospective study of 684 HIV-positive individuals. 157 Sulfonamide derivatives and dapsone, an agent with high structural similarity to sulfa drugs, are among the most common causes of skin reactions in these patients.…”

Adverse reactions to medication are significant contributors to morbidity and mortality in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Cutaneous events not only constitute a significant portion of these reactions, they may also herald developing systemic reactions such as hemato-, nephro-, and hepatotoxicity. The identification of cutaneous adverse reactions and drug culprits and the proper management of reactions are of paramount importance for these patients. This review focuses specifically on adverse cutaneous reactions to antimicrobials that are commonly used in the management of patients with HIV infection.

“…Some studies indicate that the risk of drug-induced eruptions increase with a reduction in the CD4 count 15 . It has also been postulated that low-grade EBV or CMV infection predisposes to a drug eruption in the same way that occurs after the administration of ampicillin for EBV or CMV mononucleosis.…”

The complaint of itch is common in patients with AIDS and HIV infection. Inspection of the skin often reveals a dermatosis, but precise diagnosis is not always easy which makes it difficult for effective treatment. In HIV-positive patients with itch, as well as common dermatoses, one often has to deal with atypical and even new skin diseases. Many of these are papular, papulo-vesicular or papulo-pustular. This article is a protocol for the diagnosis and treatment of itch in these patients.
