“…Acquired forms of EV are usually seen in immunodeficient patients with autoimmune disease, HIV infection, or history of organ transplantation. 3 Hypopigmented guttate macules type that resemble PV is the specific one among the clinical spectrum of EV and may easily be overlooked or misdiagnosed. PV is the primary consideration when encountered with hypopigmented macules on the face; however, EV should be taken into acount in differential diagnosis of hypopigmented lesions on the sun‐exposed sites from childhood onwards.…”

“…The treatment is not only aimed at cosmetic healing but also decreases the conversion to malignancy. [16] Currently, combined treatment of acitretin, imiquimod, interferons, and retinoids, as well as surgical excision, is recommended for a number of possible treatments, such as cimetidine (although there is debate about the efficacy of this treatment) and topical calcipotriol. [4] Current radiation therapy is contraindicated in patients with EV, although it is frequently used in EV patients with conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma, since it is observed to cause more invasive and serious lesions.…”

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (UV) is an extremely rare skin disease with autosomal recessive inheritance. This disease is because of susceptibility to certain types of human papilloma virus and mutations of two genes named EVER1/ TMC6 and EVER2/TMC8. Epidermodysplasia verruciformis is characterized by various skin lesions, such as flat warts and reddish papules, which have been seen since childhood. There is a high risk of these lesions becoming malignant in the areas exposed to UV radiation in the following years. This transformation, usually seen in the fourth decade of life, is most commonly associated with squamous cell carcinoma. Although various treatment methods have been proposed for this disease so far, there is no definitive treatment.

Viruses can cause disease in the skin or mucosa by direct infection or, via a systemic infection, produce secondary skin abnormalities. The chapter reviews the viruses associated with skin lesions, outlining the pathophysiology, the clinical features, diagnostic methods and the approaches to treatment. Primary skin infection following direct contact occurs with poxviruses, some herpesviruses and papillomaviruses leading to visible features which may be readily diagnostic. Less specific skin changes are seen with systemic infections, when infection is often via mucosae or inoculation, for example with parvovirus, measles or coronavirus and for these infections, diagnosis will usually involve body fluid analysis.
